    WW 557 SEVERE TSTM NE SD 070120Z - 070800Z
    URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    Number 557 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 820 PM CDT Tue
    Aug 6 2019
    The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
    * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Parts of north central
    and central Nebraska Parts of south central and southeast South
    Dakota
    * Effective this Tuesday night and Wednesday morning from 820 PM
    until 300 AM CDT.
    * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated
    very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Isolated
    damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
    SUMMARY...Clusters of severe storms, including some supercells,
    will continue to spread south-southeastward from South Dakota into
    Nebraska overnight, with additional storm development also possible.
    The storm environment will favor large hail and damaging gusts as
    the primary severe threats through the early morning hours.
    The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and
    55 statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles north of
    Chamberlain SD to 55 miles south southeast of Burwell NE. For a
    complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
    update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

    MD 1658 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS
    OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL AL AND NORTHEASTERN MS
    Mesoscale Discussion 1658 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0123 AM CDT Wed Aug 07 2019
    Areas affected...portions of northern/central AL and northeastern MS Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
    Valid 070623Z - 070900Z
    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging gusts, some near severe limits, may
    occur with a southeastward-moving band of thunderstorms during the
    next few hours. A watch is not currently expected.
    DISCUSSION...A loosely organized, multicellular thunderstorm
    cluster was evident at 06Z crossing from southern TN into portions
    of northeastern MS and northern AL along an instability gradient.
    The thermodynamic environment was characterized by rich low-level
    moisture -- manifest in low/mid 70s F surface dew points, though
    modified 00Z BMX RAOB and RAP soundings indicate only about 1.3-
    1.5-inch total PW thanks to a dry layer above the surface. Nocturnal stabilization, and the presence of that dry layer, has offsetting
    effects: 1. Rendering MUCAPE unrepresentative on the high side
    while minimizing MLCAPE, with the latter ranging from around 1000
    J/kg in central MS to only around 250 J/kg in northeastern AL,
    and 2. Support evaporative cooling and downdraft acceleration
    in that layer just above the surface. It is uncertain how much
    such downward parcel acceleration can overcome a gradually cooling
    near-surface layer (with associated increase in static stability)
    to render severe wind at the surface, but damaging gusts cannot be
    ruled out in the most intense cores.
    Kinematically, low-level flow should remain very weak, with
    west-northwesterly to northwesterly 850-mb winds minimizing
    storm-relative flow in the inflow layer. Regardless, the
    forward-propagational component of convective motion should be
    sufficient to sustain some inflow for a few more hours, amidst about
    30-40 kt ambient effective-shear magnitudes. While a severe (50+
    kt) gust cannot be ruled out, the potential currently appears too
    isolated and marginal for a watch.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY INTO TONIGHT
    ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST STATES INTO WESTERN NEW
    ENGLAND...ACROSS PARTS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST...AND ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL PLAINS...
    ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are possible today into tonight
    across parts of the Mid Atlantic Coast states into portions of
    western New England, across parts of the Upper Midwest, and across
    parts of the central Plains. These will pose are risk for large
    hail and potentially damaging wind gusts.
    ...Synopsis... Blocking appears likely to remain prominent across
    the mid-latitude eastern Pacific through this period, with a long
    fetch of northwesterly mid/upper flow downstream, across Alaska
    and the Yukon Territory through the central Canadian/U.S. border
    vicinity. On the leading edge of this regime, a large short
    wave trough and embedded mid-level closed low are forecast to
    continue digging southeastward, across northern Ontario and the
    upper Great Lakes region. Models indicate that this will be
    accompanied by another notable cold front, which is forecast to
    advance southeastward across much of the northern Plains, Upper
    Midwest and Great Lakes region by daybreak Thursday.
    This will be preceded by another cold front, associated with
    large-scale troughing within a weaker branch of westerlies at lower
    latitudes, which is expected to continue gradually shifting east of
    the Mississippi Valley through the Atlantic Seaboard. The lead front
    may progress southeastward into the Mid Atlantic coast, and more
    slowly southward through the Tennessee Valley/Ozark Plateau region.
    It may be reinforced by convective outflow, before stalling across
    eastern portions of the central Plains.
    A mid/upper subtropical high, centered over the Four Corners states,
    may begin to weaken, but large-scale ridging is expected to remain
    a prominent influence across much of the Intermountain West/Rockies
    and southern Plains.
    Subtle short wave perturbations progressing around the periphery
    of the ridging, into the southern periphery of the broad troughing
    over the Tennessee Valley/eastern Gulf states, may provide the
    support and focus for organizing clusters of thunderstorms today
    through tonight, in the presence of moderate to strong instability.
    However, the predictability of these features remains relatively
    low, resulting in only marginal severe probabilities, except
    across eastern portions of the central Plains. Otherwise, forcing
    for ascent associated with the more prominent short waves, and
    destabilization ahead of their associated cold fronts, appear to
    provide more certain support for severe thunderstorm development.
    ...Mid Atlantic Coast states into western New England... Although
    the plume of tropical moisture has advected ahead an initial short
    wave trough, well east of the Atlantic Seaboard (aside from the
    southern Florida Peninsula), low-level moisture appears to remain
    sufficient to support moderate CAPE along pre-frontal surface
    troughing near/east of the Appalachians. As destabilization
    commences with daytime heating, 20-40 kt south/southwesterly flow
    in the 850-500 mb layer is expected to overspread the region and
    contribute to at least marginally sufficient shear to organize
    convection and support a risk for potentially damaging wind gusts
    and some hail. This will be aided by forcing for ascent associated
    with several smaller-scale perturbations. This may include one
    mid-level cyclonic vorticity maximum and associated developing area
    of low pressure, that could contribute to at least low probabilities
    for a tornado or two across parts of Upstate New York into the
    Hudson/Champlain Valleys.
    ...Upper Midwest... Mid-level cooling and forcing for ascent in
    the exit region of a 50+ kt mid-level jet propagating around the
    southern periphery of the vigorous digging upper trough will provide
    support for thunderstorm development late this afternoon or evening.
    With models generally suggest CAPE at least on the order of 1000-2000
    J/kg across parts of eastern Minnesota into Wisconsin and portions
    of upper Michigan, the environment is expected to become conducive
    to isolated supercells and small organizing storm clusters posing
    a risk for severe hail and locally strong surface gusts.
    ...Eastern portions of the central Plains... Uncertainty exists
    concerning the extent and intensity of a possible early period
    cluster of storms now developing across parts of central/eastern
    Nebraska. However, models generally indicate that an associated
    outflow boundary/zone of stronger differential surface heating
    will provide a potential focus for organized severe thunderstorm
    development late this afternoon into tonight. Large CAPE along and
    south of the boundary, coupled with favorable shear beneath at least
    moderate northwest mid-level flow, may become supportive of isolated
    supercells by early this evening. The nose of a strengthening
    southerly low-level jet (including 30-40+ kt at 850 mb) may provide
    the focus for an upscale growing and organizing convective system
    across northeastern Kansas late this evening into the overnight
    hours, which could pose a risk for strong surface gusts.

    Valid 081200Z - 091200Z
    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL IN
    INTO OH...THE NORTHERN WV PANHANDLE...WESTERN PA AND FAR WESTERN
    NY...
    ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe thunderstorms capable of large hail
    and locally damaging wind gusts are expected Thursday afternoon
    and evening across portions of the Midwest from Indiana to western
    Pennsylvania and far western New York.
    ...Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes Vicinity...
    An upper trough over the upper Great Lakes will pivot eastward across
    the Midwest on Thursday, spreading strong northwesterly deep-layer
    flow across the region. At the surface, west/southwesterly
    low-level winds will transport mid to upper 60s F dewpoints
    eastward across the Ohio Valley toward the lower Great Lakes ahead
    of a southeastward-advancing cold front. Strong heating in this
    corridor of richer boundary-layer moisture will result in moderate
    instability (1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE) in the presence of 30-40 kt
    effective shear. Convection may be ongoing Thursday morning across
    southwest MI and should increase and intensify by early afternoon
    across OH/IN, shifting southeast toward western NY/PA through the afternoon/evening.
    Vertical shear will support sustained cells with rotating updrafts
    and perhaps even some supercell structures, and long, straight
    forecast hodographs indicate a threat for large hail. While midlevel
    lapse rates are modest (around 6.5 C/km), CAPE/shear parameters
    should compensate some and most intense cells will be capable of
    large hail. 0-3 km lapse rates are also modest, but relatively fast
    storm motion could result in locally strong wind gusts.
    The severe threat becomes more uncertain/conditional with westward
    extent into west-central IN and IL. While steeper lapse rates and
    stronger instability will be in place with similar shear profiles
    as those to the east, forecast soundings indicate this area may
    be under the influence of midlevel subsidence. This scenario would
    suppress convection across the area. However, if storms do develop
    further west, thermodynamic and kinematic parameters certainly
    would support a severe threat.
    ...Portions of the High Plains into KS/OK...
    The upper ridge will shift east on Thursday, becoming oriented over
    the northern High Plains southward to western TX during the second
    half of the period. This will keep the region on the southern fringes
    of stronger northwesterly deep-layer flow. At the surface, a warm
    front will stall near the OK/KS border and be a focus for potential
    heavy rain. Some severe threat could develop in the vicinity of the
    warm front, but several rounds of convection between now and then
    is resulting in too much uncertainty in evolution of the boundary
    layer across that area.
    What does seem more likely is at least a low-end severe threat
    across parts of the High Plains from northeast NM into eastern
    CO/WY, southwest SD and perhaps as far east as the NE Panhandle far
    western KS. Southeasterly upslope low-level flow will transport low
    50s dewpoints westward along the I-25 corridor, with low to mid 60s
    further east. Strong heating will result in storm development over
    higher terrain by early afternoon. Midlevel flow will be somewhat
    weak, but effective shear greater than 40 kt and MLCAPE as high
    as 1500 J/kg should support sporadic strong cells capable of hail
    and perhaps locally damaging gusts during the afternoon and early
    evening.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 5% - Slight Wind:
    15% - Slight Hail: 15% - Slight
