    Areas affected...eastern Nebraska amd adjacent portions of the
    Missouri Valley

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 160207Z - 160430Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An increase in generally weak thunderstorm activity is
    ongoing. While there is some uncertainty, the risk for severe
    weather still appears limited until late tonight.

    DISCUSSION...Downstream of a significant mid-level trough emerging
    from the Southwest, a developing area of mid-level warm advection is
    becoming focused across the northeastern Kansas/eastern Nebraska
    vicinity of the middle Missouri Valley. Based on radar, and the
    16/00Z sounding from Topeka, associated lift and moistening are
    contributing to destabilization supportive of an ongoing increase in
    convective development, which is rooted above the inversion
    associated with a prominent elevated mixed-layer.

    Below the capping inversion, boundary-layer moistening, within a
    corridor to the west of the Missouri River, has contributed to
    mixed-layer CAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg. And, in the presence of=20
    sizable clockwise-curved low-level hodographs and strong deep-layer
    shear, the environment has become conditionally favorable for
    boundary-layer based supercells. However, until the leading edge of
    mid-level cooling approaching from the southwest begins to
    overspread the region later tonight, the boundary-layer instability
    and stronger convective potential may remain unrealized.
