    CORRECTED FOR GRAPHIC

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 360
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms continue moving east across portions of
    north-central Nebraska this evening. Modest instability and strong
    shear should maintain the MCS structure, although weak low-level
    lapse rates should keep any severe threat rather isolated.

    DISCUSSION...A north-south linear MCS has organized across portions
    of north-central Nebraska this evening and will continue eastward
    into the morning hours. The overall environment remains
    kinematically favorable for thunderstorm organization (effective
    layer shear greater than 50 knots), although the thermodynamic
    environment remains modest at best with between 500 to 1000 J/kg of
    MUCAPE along the line of storms. Additionally, low-level lapse rates
    continue to weaken, with 0-3 kilometer lapse rates objectively
    analyzed to be around 3 C/km. Thus, despite the linear MCS's
    organization, the elevated nature of the individual thunderstorms
    and the weak low-level lapse rates should limit any severe wind
    potential to being isolated/sporadic in nature.
