SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN
PLAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN QUITE MOIST
SATURDAY AND AS AFTERNOON HEATING TAKES PLACE...THUNDERSTORMS WILL
RAPIDLY DEVELOP.  SINCE THERE WILL BE WEAK SHEAR IN THE LOWER LEVELS
OF THE ATMOSPHERE...SOME SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
MAIN THREAT BEING LARGE HAIL.
