Areas affected...North-central into southeast NE

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 162053Z - 162300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Storms capable of hail and locally damaging wind gusts
remain possible into this evening. Watch issuance is possible.

DISCUSSION...The earlier supercell that moved from north-central
into northeast NE has weakened, but recent redevelopment has been
noted across north-central NE near a weak surface boundary, and also
near the differential heating zone/outflow boundary left in the wake
of earlier convection. MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg and effective shear
of 30-40 kt will continue to support a threat of organized storms. A
couple of supercells capable of hail and locally damaging wind gusts
may emerge out of redeveloping convection and spread southeastward,
with some cell mergers and clustering possible by early evening. 

Relatively weak midlevel lapse rates, warm temperatures aloft, and
weak low-level flow may continue to temper the severe hail/wind
threat to some extent, but any sustained supercells and/or organized
clusters that can develop could pose a sufficient threat to support
watch issuance later this afternoon.
