...there is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
central plains...and upper midwest...
...summary...
clusters of strong thunderstorms with potential to produce severe
hail and wind may evolve across parts of the upper midwest into
central great plains wednesday through wednesday night.
...mn...wi...ia...
as the tail end of a shortwave trough sweeps across the region,
storms will likely be ongoing wed morning near and north of a
quasi-stationary front extending from southern mn into northern wi
and mi, in an area of veered 850 mb winds providing a feed of
elevated instability. this activity should transition to surface
based during the day as heating occurs to the south of the boundary,
with area of damaging wind potential.
additional storms likely to develop during the afternoon farther
southwest along the front, where moderate instability and marginal
shear will exist. some clusters of storms may produce damaging wind
gusts, and isolated marginal hail may occur.
...central plains...
weak height falls may occur late in the day into the northern and
central plains as a weak disturbance moves across the northern
rockies. low pressure is likely to develop into western ks, with
weak lee troughing into eastern wy. relatively cool midlevel
temperatures, sufficient moisture and east/northeast surface winds
suggest a corridor of afternoon storms over the from eastern wy into
co, with 30 kt effective shear supporting areas of hail and locally
damaging gusts. some of this activity may cluster and move into ne
and ks overnight, possibly linking with other storms as they
propagate southwestward along the boundary in eastern to southern
ne. area of damaging wind gusts appear most likely.
