00:00 We've also seen some huge thunderstorms here into Nebraska where we do still have a tornado warning.
00:06 This is going a little while longer here until 6.45 for Custer County, Nebraska.
00:11 Do want to go in a little bit closer on this thunderstorm here. It has the classic
00:15 appearance to it, the the C-shape here, the hook appearance, where you'd see your rotation back in
00:20 this vicinity and to the north of the storm. That's where you would have most of your large hail
00:24 and that's where we've had hail sizes anywhere from a quarter sized here in Broken Bow, Nebraska
00:30 upwards to a golf ball sized hail. Still looking at the winds here and this is how the radar
00:36 sees the winds moving in different directions. We're moving toward the radar site. You see the
00:42 greens and when we're moving away from the radar site, which is off to our north and west, mind
00:47 you, you see the red. So there's still some broad rotation here. We're still looking at the potential
00:51 for a tornado and thus the tornado warning does continue. We're also looking at multiple severe
00:57 thunderstorm warnings out, one of which is making its way here through Nance County, Nebraska, as
01:03 well as Greeley County, Nebraska and Howard County, Nebraska. That thunderstorm having a history of
01:08 producing a very, very again large hail. And then look at this, look at the area flash flood warnings
01:14 we now have out due to the training nature of these thunderstorms over the same areas again and
01:19 again. You're also looking at again some pictures here from our very own Tony Laubach again coming
01:26 out from again the thunderstorms here in and around Broken Bow. We have seen a tremendous amount
01:33 of rainfall happening with some of these thunderstorms here. In fact, I've got a couple
01:36 of the totals brought up here to the north, four to even five inches of rain. So that's definitely
01:41 a big concern here as we go throughout the next couple of hours as well. Additional thunderstorms
01:46 off toward the south also being warned upon here for the potential of damaging winds and large hail
01:52 in Decatur, Kansas, Sheridan, Kansas and Norton, Kansas. I want to quickly show you our watch box
01:59 situation, multiple watches and here's our latest. It does include a Salina, Topeka and Beatrice
02:05 until 11 o'clock. So we're going to be talking about severe weather here beyond the cover of
02:09 darkness, kind of congealing into a big mass, becoming quite a big wind event here later on
02:14 this evening and tonight, eventually making its way through Kansas City on eastbound towards
02:19 ST Louis with more severe weather on tap further south as we work our way into the upcoming weekend.
