Dew points in the mid-to-upper 50s to even low 60s in many spots are being observed in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa early this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are developing along a line from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Salina, Kansas and are moving to the northeast. As clearing has occurred in some spots, moderate instability has developed and is continuing to do so as indicated by mesoanalysis. Shear is also on the increase, nearing 35-45 MPH in some spots.
