Areas affected…southeast SD and northeast NE
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch possible
Valid 161849Z – 162045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…60 percent
SUMMARY…An isolated large hail and localized severe gust threat
may persist through mid-afternoon. Greater coverage of storms, with
increasing severe hail/wind threats, is anticipated in the late
afternoon to early evening. Area is being monitored for a severe
thunderstorm watch, with timing and spatial extent the primary
near-term uncertainties.
DISCUSSION…A few storms, likely rooted near 700 mb, have formed
near the surface cold front. With appreciable MLCIN still present in
the warm-moist sector ahead of this, convection may struggle to
propagate off the boundary. Most CAM guidance has been too slow with
this initial development, rendering uncertainty regarding the
overall spatial extent of severe potential over the next couple
hours. Surface dew points have largely mixed into the upper 50s to
low 60s to the east-southeast of this activity, with richer
boundary-layer dew points and CU development confined to central NE
westward. Despite the uncertainty on storm coverage, low to
mid-level wind profiles are sufficient for transient, high-based
supercells.
