Areas affected…portions of eastern Nebraska
Concerning…Tornado Watch 140…
Valid 262014Z – 262115Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 140 continues.
SUMMARY…Well-developed supercells are moving into an environment
very favorable for tornadoes. A corridor of heightened risk for
significant tornadoes is emerging across eastern/southeastern NE.
DISCUSSION…Ongoing storms across southeastern NE have rapidly
evolved into well-organized supercells over the past few hours. The
environment ahead of these storms is becoming increasingly favorable
for significant tornadoes near the modifying warm front over the
NE/IA border. ESRH of 300 m2/s2 and STP values of 2-3 from SPC
mesoanalysis indicate the environment could support strong (EF2-EF3)
tornadoes with these organized supercells. Current radar data shows
storm motions of 215-225 deg at 30-35 kt. This would place these
storms near or just west of the Omaha metro in the next 60-90
minutes.
