Squall Line Moving Southeast - 11:45pm Update

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued Ahead of Squall Line - 11:40pm
Severe thunderstorm watch just now issued including Topeka and Kansas City. It warns of 75 mph winds, 2" hail and "a tornado or two." It is in effect until 7am. 


A Powerful Squall Line is Moving Southeast at 11:30pm
There has been considerable wind damage in the Omaha area. The squall line in central Nebraska will sweep up the storms ahead of it and charge southeast during the night. Power failures likely. Make sure you have some way of getting storm warnings for your area while sleeping. 

This is the last update of the night. 



-- first update--

I believe the squall line is going to form and move southeast. Damaging winds are quite likely. Right now (9:24pm), the southernmost circled storm has a tornado warning. Please make sure you can get warnings during the night in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. 


--- original posting ---
The pink tint represents severe thunderstorm watches as of 5:30pm. There are indications the thunderstorms over northern Nebraska could congeal and turn into a weather system that may cause wind damage as it moves down the Missouri Valley. Power failures, worsening flooding and even some hail are all possible. 

If the above weather system looks like it will actually develop, I'll have updates this evening. Please check back.
