NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0552 PM CDT THU JUL 02 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA...NORTHWEST IOWA...AND FAR
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY
VALID 022252Z - 030015Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT
SUMMARY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING IN SOUTH DAKOTA WILL LIKELY
SPREAD EAST INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA, AND POSSIBLY FAR
NORTHERN IOWA AND FAR NORTHEAST NEBRASKA, IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
WATCH ISSUANCE IS EXPECTED SOON.
DISCUSSION...A BAND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ACROSS EASTERN SD
HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING SEVERAL SEVERE WIND GUSTS, INCLUDING A
GUST TO 90 MPH. SOUTHWARD DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LINE IS ALSO NOTED IN
RECENT RADAR TRENDS. DOWNSTREAM, SOME LINGERING INHIBITION IS NOTED
ACROSS SOUTHERN MN, AND MLCAPE GENERALLY DECREASES WITH EASTWARD
EXTENT. HOWEVER, THE PRESENCE OF A WELL-ESTABLISHED COLD POOL WITHIN
THE MCS AND 35-40 KNOTS OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL LIKELY COMPENSATE
FOR THE MODEST THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL
FOR FURTHER STRONG/SEVERE STORMS DOWNSTREAM THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS. WATCH ISSUANCE IS EXPECTED SOON TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN.
