MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1501
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0257 PM CDT THU JUL 09 2009

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF NE NEB...SE SD...NW IA...SW MN

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 091957Z - 092130Z

RISK OF ISOLATED LARGE HAIL MAY CONTINUE ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS.
TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED FOR AN INCREASING SEVERE THREAT AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF A WW.

RECENT FLARE UP OF STORMS ACROSS THE MID MISSOURI VALLEY APPEARS TO
BE OCCURRING JUST EAST OF A LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC THERMAL RIDGE
AXIS...ON THE NOSE OF A VERY WARM ELEVATED MIXED LAYER EAST OF THE
ROCKIES THROUGH MUCH OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS IS WHERE
LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH WARM ADVECTION APPEARS TO HAVE
BECOME MAXIMIZED...ON THE LEADING EDGE OF BETTER PRE-FRONTAL
LOWER/MID-LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN. IT IS NOT CERTAIN THAT THIS
ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN STRONG OR PARTICULARLY
LONG-LIVED...PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE ELEVATED NATURE OF THE
INSTABILITY/CONVECTION. BUT...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING WEAK MID/UPPER IMPULSE COULD MAINTAIN
STORM DEVELOPMENT EAST NORTHEASTWARD NEAR THE MINNESOTA/ IOWA BORDER
AREA THROUGH THE 22-00Z TIME FRAME.
