Areas affected...southeast SD...northeast NE and western IA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 290539Z - 290745Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and severe gusts may remain possible
through the pre-dawn hours early this morning with a pair of
slow-moving supercells over the Mid-Missouri Valley.

DISCUSSION...In between a broader MCV over northeast IA and a
smaller MCV in central SD, a pair of slow-moving supercells have
developed along the southeast SD/northeast NE border area. This
activity is within a zone of lower-level warm theta-e advection,
with increasingly pronounced MLCIN in the warm-moist sector to its
south-southwest. Most guidance suggests that the advection regime
should gradually subside within this corridor over the next several
hours. But given the upstream MCV over central SD moving about twice
as fast as these storms, it is plausible that a merging may occur
during the next few hours. One of the 00Z NSSL-MPAS runs, which
appears to have a decent handle on both convective areas, supports
this scenario. This could result in the initial primary threat of
large hail, transitioning to more of a severe wind threat later this
morning.
