   Tornado Watch Number 496
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   355 PM CDT Mon Jul 1 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Southern and Central Nebraska

   * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 355 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A couple tornadoes possible
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 75 mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should move east-northeastward along and
   near a warm front that will become draped across south-central
   Nebraska this afternoon and evening. A couple of tornadoes may occur
   with any sustained supercell, along with large hail around 1-2
   inches in diameter. Severe/damaging winds may become an increasing
   concern if thunderstorms can grow into a small cluster later this
   evening.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 45 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 40 miles northwest of Mccook NE to 30
   miles east southeast of Grand Island NE. For a complete depiction of
   the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU6).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.
