THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 274
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
CONTINUES ACROSS NEWLY ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 274.
DISCUSSION...SEVERAL DISCRETE/SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELLS HAVE
DEVELOPED JUST EAST OF THE SD/MN BORDER AS OF 2030 UTC, WITH A
RECENT REPORT OF 1" HAIL AND A MEASURED GUST OF 56 KTS. A CORRIDOR
OF MARGINALLY STEEPER MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES (6.5+ C/KM) ANALYZED VIA
LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS AND MODESTLY INCREASING MID-LEVEL FLOW
(SAMPLED BY THE MPX VAD PROFILE) IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM OF AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL
FOR LARGE HAIL AS THESE STORMS PROPAGATE SOUTHEASTWARD, WITH
DAMAGING TO OCCASIONALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS ALSO POSSIBLE. A LOCALLY
GREATER SEVERE RISK MAY EVOLVE SHOULD A STORM FAVORABLE INTERACT
WITH A REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM PRIOR CONVECTION (EVIDENT ON
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS).
WITH TIME, STORMS MAY EVOLVE INTO ONE OR MORE BOWING
SEGMENTS/CLUSTERS, WHICH WOULD FAVOR AN ATTENDANT INCREASE IN THE
THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND SEVERITY
SHOULD THEN GRADUALLY WANE LATER THIS EVENING AS NOCTURNAL
COOLING/STABILIZATION BEGINS.
