Doesn't look like anything too serious (like a PDS situation) but still a tornado watch.
Also, north-central Nebr. and south-central SD have an MD for storms developing by mid to late afternoon.

Yes... I was looking at that just now. I think you guys will get hammered as well. Some impressive numbers forthcoming on instability.

I would say so. Just look at the clearing just west of the Missouri River in Nebraska. RIght now, outside my window in the west burbs of Omaha it is most ly sunny. My radar also shows a few weak echos.
