Areas affected...much of the western Dakotas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 091913Z - 092145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Intensifying thunderstorm development appears increasingly
probable through 4-6 PM CDT, accompanied by the risk for large hail
and potential for increasingly widespread strong to severe wind
gusts.

DISCUSSION...Beneath a plume of warm and capping elevated
mixed-layer air (including +10-12 C around 700 mb), surface
troughing continues to deepen across much of the western Dakotas,
downstream of larger-scale mid/upper troughing overspreading the
northern Rockies. The boundary-layer is only modestly moist, but
low-level lapse rates are steepening with continuing insolation and
mixing, and it appears that profiles are becoming supportive of CAPE
on the order of 1000-2000 J/kg.=20

As the leading edge of mid-level cooling begins to suppress the
elevated mixed-layer within the next few hours, the initiation of
thunderstorm development appears probable. As this occurs, the
environment appears conducive to the development of severe hail and
strong downbursts in stronger storms. Thereafter, through 21-23Z,
convection with expanding northeastward/eastward propagating cold
pools likely will continue to grow upscale and organize, gradually
acquiring inflow of increasingly moist and potentially unstable air
advecting northwestward into the Missouri Valley. As this occurs,
strong to severe surface gusts may become more widespread, along
with perhaps at least some increase in potential for tornadoes along
the western flank of a 30+ kt southerly 850 mb jet.
