   Concerning...Tornado Watch 178...

   Valid 280433Z - 280600Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 178 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat continues across northern Nebraska into
   southern South Dakota. WW178 will likely need to be extended beyond
   05z.

   DISCUSSION...Intense LLJ currently extends across western KS into
   south-central SD. This feature will gradually translate east,
   focusing into eastern SD by 08z. Current radar trends suggest an MCS
   is maturing along the SD/NE border, and this complex should
   propagate downstream along the nose of the LLJ. Long-lived supercell
   -- tornadic at times -- is tracking across northeast Cherry County
   NE within a favorable warm advection zone, and very strong 0-3km
   SRH. Some tornado threat continues with this supercell, and any
   other discrete updrafts, though a gradual evolution into a larger
   complex is expected. Severe threat will continue well past 05z and
   ww178 will likely be extended to account for this scenario.
