A high risk has been issued this morning by the SPC for eastern NE and northwestern IA!  Given an uncapped warm sector, supercells will likely explode everywhere along and east of a dryline forecast to solidify over western NE.  This is a rather complicated forecast, as the location of the initiating boundaries is unclear at this time.  Stay tuned for updates as this dangerous weather situation unfolds..

As a strong jet streak ejects over the Central Plains later this afternoon, wind shear and instability parameters will increase dramatically ahead of a strong dryline forecast to surge eastward across Nebraska and Kansas.  Storm motions are forecast to be almost due easterly, so any supercells will have no problem moving off the boundary.  With 40+ knots at all levels including just above the surface, helicity values will be sufficient for strong tornadoes.  We'll have the live streaming in full force later today, so stay tuned to the tracker page as well as the blog for news updates.  Good luck to all who are chasing this event!
