AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS SERN SD...NERN NEB...NWRN/N-CENTRAL IA.
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 615...
VALID 190403Z - 190600Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 615
CONTINUES.
CONVECTION IS SLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS SERN SD...LIKELY RELATED TO
LACK OF LIFT RESULTING FROM COMBINATION OF SHALLOW SLOPE OF FRONTAL
ZONE IN THIS AREA AND LOSS OF SFC DIABATIC HEATING. SHOWERS AND
WEAK TSTMS ARE MOVING ENEWD APPROXIMATELY 20 KT OVER PORTIONS BOH
HOMME/HUTCHINSON COUNTIES -- AS OF 445Z -- WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR
INTENSIFICATION DURING NEXT 2-3 HOURS AS ACTIVITY MOVES TOWARD FSD
AREA...NWRN CORNER IA AND SWRN CORNER MN. MESOANALYSIS SHOWS
FRONTAL-WAVE LOW BETWEEN MHE-YKN...WITH QUASISTATIONARY FRONTAL ZONE
EWD OVER NWRN IA THEN SEWD ACROSS CENTRAL IA. LOW LEVEL VERTICAL
SHEAR WILL REMAIN MAXIMIZED AND MOST FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS ALONG
AND JUST N OF FRONT...WITH 0-3 KM SRH AOA 300 J/KG ESTIMATED FROM
FSD AREA EWD. MODIFIED RUC SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT EFFECTIVE PARCELS
WILL REMAIN ROOTED AT OR VERY NEAR SFC ALONG FRONT FOR ANOTHER 2-3
HOURS...PARTICULARLY NEAR AND ESE OF SFC WAVE WHERE STRONGEST SFC
THETAE PERSISTS. RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVER
REGION...ESPECIALLY E AND SE OF SFC LOW WHERE NARROW CORRIDOR OF
1500-2500 J/KG MLCAPE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT 05Z. SBCINH IS
FCST TO INCREASE GRADUALLY...HOWEVER...AS MOIST SFC AIR MASS
SLOWLY/DIABATICALLY COOLS.
OTHERWISE...ALTHOUGH AIR MASS REMAINS FAVORABLY MOIST AND SHEARED
ALONG/S OF FRONT...OTHER FACTORS -- INCLUDING WEAK FORCING AND LACK
OF SIGNIFICANT SHALLOW CONVECTION EVIDENT IN IR IMAGERY -- INDICATE
SEVERE PROBABILITIES ARE DIMINISHING. LOOSELY ORGANIZED BAND OF
STG-SVR TSTMS -- MOVING EWD 20-25 KT INTO WRN-MOST CHERRY COUNTY NEB
-- SHOULD NOT REACH WW BEFORE SCHEDULED EXPIRATION. THEREFORE...PER
COORDINATION W/LBF/OAX...SOME COUNTIES S OF SD/NEB BORDER MAY BE
CLEARED BEFORE 5Z.
