Our teams are working in the North Platte CWA.  They have sectorized, with Matthew and Mike taking storms west of the longitude of the radar, and Rob and Les taking those to the east.  Matthew/Mike have issued one warning, using base data in conjunction with MESH, POSH, and max height of 50 dbZ.  Their cell is elongated and straddling the east to west oriented fontal zone.  Rob and Les have observed numerous microbursts near the radar.  They feel the storms are not severe, but if they had the option – they would issue a Special Weather Statement.
