Areas affected...northwest NE...southwest SD

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 393...

Valid 202026Z - 202230Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 393
continues.

SUMMARY...The risk for 60-85 mph gusts will probably increase during
the 230-430pm MDT period as a cluster of storms likely begins
evolving into a bowing segment.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic imagery shows a cluster of storms
congealing over the northern part of the NE Panhandle as of 220pm
MDT.  CAPPI imagery from 10 km ARL shows a couple of intense
discrete updrafts embedded within the cluster. 

Surface analysis shows weak northerly flow which is maintaining
relatively moist low levels (dewpoints ranging from near 60 deg F to
the mid 60s near I-90).  Objective analysis indicates 1500-2000 J/kg
MLCAPE from the northern part of the NE Panhandle northeastward into
central SD.  Long hodographs and the approach of increasing forcing
for ascent/flow associated with the approaching mid-level shortwave
trough, will probably aid in an acceleration in storm motion to the
northeast over the next few hours.  The strong heating and steep
low-level lapse rates ahead of the storm activity will likely prime
the boundary layer for severe gust potential through the late
afternoon.  As the storm mode evolution transitions to a mix of
embedded cells into a bowing structure, expecting an increase in
both the intensity and coverage of severe gusts.  Peak gusts could
range 75-85 mph.
