The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
  North-Central and Northeast Kansas

* Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 700 PM
  until 100 AM CDT.

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

SUMMARY...Supercells have developed along a boundary this evening,
and they should continue to pose a threat for large hail up to 1-2
inches in diameter. Scattered severe/damaging winds up to 65-75 mph
may occur as thunderstorms develop into one or more bowing clusters
while tracking eastward over the next several hours.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 35
statute miles north and south of a line from 55 miles west northwest
of Russell KS to 55 miles northeast of Manhattan KS. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
640 PM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
  Eastern Iowa
  Northern Illinois
  Northwest Indiana
  Lake Michigan

* Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 640 PM
  until 200 AM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
  Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
  A tornado or two possible

SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms should pose a threat for mainly
scattered severe/damaging winds as it tracks east-southeastward this
evening into early Saturday morning. Peak gusts may reach up to
60-70 mph. Isolated hail and perhaps a brief tornado or two may also
occur with any cells that can move along/near a boundary.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55
statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles west northwest
of Moline IL to Valparaiso IN. For a complete depiction of the watch
see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 450
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
525 PM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
  Western and Central Nebraska

* Effective this Friday afternoon from 525 PM until Midnight CDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
    mph possible
  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
    inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...Supercells should pose a threat for large to very large
hail this evening, potentially up to 2-2.5 inches in diameter on an
isolated basis. Some chance also exists for upscale growth into a
bowing cluster this evening. If this occurs, then a greater threat
for severe/damaging winds would exist. Peak gusts could reach up to
65-75 mph.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
statute miles north and south of a line from 80 miles west of Mullen
NE to 40 miles north northeast of Broken Bow NE. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for 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. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0937 PM CDT Fri Jul 03 2026

Areas affected...Central and Southwest Nebraska...Far Northeast
Colorado

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 450...

Valid 040237Z - 040430Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 450
continues.

SUMMARY...A threat for severe wind gusts and isolated large hail
will likely continue over the next few hours. As storms move
eastward into southwest Nebraska, a watch extension in area may be
needed.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a couple of intense
storms over the central High Plains. The first storm is in
west-central Nebraska with the second in far northeast Colorado.
These storms are located near a shortwave trough evident on water
vapor imagery, which is providing large-scale ascent helping to
sustain the storms. Ahead of the storms, a moderately unstable
airmass is located across much of southern and central Nebraska,
where the RAP has MLCAPE in the 2000 to 3500 J/kg range. In
addition, the North Platte WSR-88D VWP has 0-6 km shear around 40
knots. This will support supercell maintenance late this evening.
Supercells should be capable of isolated large hail and severe wind
gusts. As the storms in far northeast Colorado move eastward into
southwest Nebraska later this evening, a watch extension in area may
need to be considered.

Mesoscale Discussion 1484
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0929 PM CDT Fri Jul 03 2026

Areas affected...Northern Indiana and far southwest Lower Michigan

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 040229Z - 040430Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Elevated thunderstorms developing across northern Indiana
and far southwest Lower Michigan may pose an isolated hail and
severe wind threat through late evening. Storm
organization/longevity is expected to remain sufficiently limited to
preclude watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...The early stages of thunderstorm development have been
monitored across northern IN over the past 30-60 minutes as a modest
increase in the low-level jet augments isentropic ascent over a
residual outflow boundary draped across the region. Much of this
convection is likely elevated in nature, but latest RAP/HRRR
forecast soundings depict nearly uninhibited most-unstable parcels
between 925-850 mb where ascent is likely being maximized. As such,
further thunderstorm development appears likely in the coming hours.
Storm motions generally to the cool side of the boundary, coupled
with a high probability for destructive storm interactions, suggest
that the potential for long-lived and/or well-organized convection
is low. However, effective bulk shear values are estimated to be
around 25-30 knots within the zone of ascent, and MUCAPE values
remain near 2000 J/kg. This parameter space could support at least
transient organized convection capable of posing a risk of large
hail and perhaps damaging winds in proximity to the surface boundary
for the next few hours. In general, increasingly clustered storm
modes should modulate the overall severe threat and negate the need
for watch issuance.

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 449...452...

Valid 040216Z - 040415Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 449, 452
continues.

SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts and isolated large hail will continue to
be possible over the next few hours from parts of north-central
Kansas northeastward into southwest Iowa. A watch extension in area
may be needed to the south and east of the current watches.

DISCUSSION...A broken line of strong to severe thunderstorms is
ongoing near an axis of strong instability, where surface dewpoints
range from the upper 60s to the mid 70s F. Across this moist
airmass, the RAP shows an axis of instability with MLCAPE in the
3500 to 4500 J/kg range. The instability along with large-scale
ascent associated with a mid-level shortwave trough is helping to
maintain storm intensity within the line. The line will move slowly
southeastward into northeast Kansas, far northwest Missouri and
southwest Iowa over the next few hours. Although a severe threat is
expected to continue through late this evening, the threat could
become a bit more isolated as inhibition gradually increases.

0750 PM CDT Fri Jul 03 2026

Valid 040100Z - 041200Z

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN IOWA...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered damaging gusts will continue across portions of the Mid
Atlantic and the central/northern Plains. More isolated to scattered
severe storms will also continue across portions of the High Plains
to the northern Rockies.

...Discussion...
Several clusters of widely scattered thunderstorms in many different
regimes are ongoing across portions of the central and northern
Plains into the Midwest and across the Mid-Atlantic. The greatest
threat through the remainder of the evening will be for damaging
wind, with a few instances of large hail and perhaps a tornado from
the Plains to the Midwest.

Across the central/northern Plains, activity is mainly tied to lee
troughing and broad ascent from the mid-level shortwave trough. A
few embedded supercells will pose potential for large hail through
the evening but the main threat is shifting to become damaging wind,
with several clusters attempting to grow upscale. The more focused
corridor of severe wind threat through the evening will likely
extend from southeastern Nebraska into northern Kansas, where a more
robust line has developed amid a strongly unstable air mass. Deep
layer shear decreases with southward extent into Kansas, however,
storms may be driven by cold pool dynamics south and eastward
through the evening.

Across portions of southern South Dakota, western Nebraska, and
eastern Colorado, a few more discrete supercell clusters are
ongoing. This region will be where the greatest short term risk will
be for large to very large hail, particularly across western
Nebraska into southwestern South Dakota.

Across portions of the Midwest into the Great Lakes, a cluster of
storms is moving across northern Illinois towards the Chicago Metro.
This line is tracking along a MLCAPE gradient that extends across
northern Illinois into northern Indiana/southern Michigan. Storms
will likely advance eastward along this gradient through the
evening, with potential for damaging winds. 

Another robust line is moving eastward through New York City and
northern New Jersey. This has produced a swath of measured severe
wind and continues eastward towards the coast.
