   Areas affected...portions of central Nebraska

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 633...

   Valid 280047Z - 280145Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 633
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An organizing bowing cluster may produce significant
   severe gusts (75-90 mph) as it moves toward the I-80 corridor over
   the next 1-2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of formerly HP supercells over central NE has
   merged and started to organize into a linear complex over the last
   30 min. Recent KLNX radar data shows a developing weak reflectively
   notch concurrent with increasing outbound velocities of 70+ kt at
   1-2 kft AGL. This is suggestive of a rapidly organizing cold pool
   and rear inflow jet. Given the favorable environment with MLCAPE in
   excess of 3000 J/kg and T/TD spreads of 20+ degrees F, significant
   damaging wind potential is likely increasing. Severe gusts of 75-90+
   mph will be possible near the apex of the bowing cluster as it moves
   toward the I-80 corridor over the next hour. If the cluster is able
   to persist, a small downstream watch could be needed south of WW633
