    Areas affected...parts of NE into far southeast SD

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 231906Z - 232100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storm potential will increase through the afternoon
    with isolated severe gusts and hail possible. Area is being
    monitored for possible watch issuance across parts of the discussion
    area.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are intensifying across western
    NE in the post-frontal upslope regime, and within a zone of strong
    differential heating across the surface boundary. A corridor of
    1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE is noted across western NE, increasing with
    eastward extent (up to 3500 J/kg MLCAPE) into deeper boundary-layer
    moisture and stronger heating. Convection will likely increase in
    coverage along the surface boundary oriented southwest to northeast
    across NE over the next couple of hours as inhibition continues to
    rapidly erode. While vertical shear is not strong and weakens with
    southward extent, effective shear magnitudes around 20-30 kt should
    support organized convection moving into a moderately to strongly
    unstable downstream airmass. Modest midlevel lapse rates and
    somewhat warm 500 mb temperatures (around -6 to -8 C) may temper
    large hail potential, but isolated hail to near 1 inch will be
    possible. With time, clustering may occur, with steepened low-level
    lapse rates and strong DCAPE suggesting strong to severe wind gusts
    will be the main hazard with storms this afternoon into early
    evening.

    Convective trends are being monitored and a watch may be needed
    sometime this afternoon.
