CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 475...476...
VALID 290601Z - 290800Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 475, 476
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF
THE MORE INTENSE PARTS OF A LINE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. A BRIEF TORNADO WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
DISCUSSION...A LINEAR MCS IS CURRENTLY ONGOING FROM NORTHERN
NEBRASKA NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND FAR NORTHWEST
WISCONSIN. AHEAD OF THE MCS, SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOWER TO
MID 70S F. THE RAP SHOWS MODERATE INSTABILITY LOCATED AHEAD OF THE
LINE, WITH MLCAPE IN THE 2000 TO 3500 J/KG RANGE. IN ADDITION, THE
WSR-88D VWPS AT SIOUX FALLS AND MINNEAPOLIS HAVE 0-6 KM SHEAR NEAR
35 KNOTS, WITH SOME DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IN THE LOW-LEVELS. THIS SHOULD
SUPPORT A WIND-DAMAGE THREAT WITH THE MORE INTENSE BOWING LINE
SEGMENTS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINEAR MCS. IN ADDITION, RAP FORECAST
SOUNDINGS AROUND 06Z JUST AHEAD OF THE LINE HAVE 0-3 KM
STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY NEAR AND ABOVE 200 M2/S2. THIS WILL BE
ENOUGH FOR A MARGINAL TORNADO THREAT. THE SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE AS THE MCS MOVES EASTWARD, BUT SHOULD BECOME MORE
ISOLATED WITH TIME AS INSTABILITY BEGINS TO STEADILY DROP ACROSS THE
REGION.
