Operations continue in Hastings and North Platte.  Currently, a line of severe thunderstorms – including a briefly tornadic supercell near Ord – extends through central Nebraska, just north of the warm front.  At the moment, it appears that this activity will not pose a great tornado threat, owing to the cool / stable air just north of the boundary.

In the near term, storms are likely to develop west and south of North Platte.  The storms to the south of North Platte will likely have the greatest chance of producing tornadoes, given the backed surface winds and extreme instability / low LCLs ahead of the development.
