...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms are expected Tuesday from the south-central
High Plains to the Upper Midwest.
...Middle Missouri Valley/Upper Midwest...
Scattered storms are likely to be ongoing early Tuesday morning
within a corridor from southern Minnesota into western/northern
Wisconsin and western Upper Michigan. This provides some uncertainty
regarding the exact degree of later-day destabilization,
particularly with east-northeastward extent across Wisconsin into
Upper Michigan. Even so, some degree of outflow modification/airmass
recovery can be expected ahead of an east/southeastward-advancing
cold front and moderate destabilization by late afternoon is
plausible from southeast Minnesota into western/central Wisconsin.
More robust destabilization is expected farther southwest across
Iowa/northern Missouri, where upwards of 4000+ J/kg MLCAPE can be
expected.
Supported by a seasonably strong belt of westerly winds aloft, a
mixed mode of supercells/sustained multicells can be expected across
the region particularly Tuesday afternoon/evening, with large hail
and damaging winds expected. A couple of tornadoes could also occur,
particularly if minimal early day overturning occurs with moderate
destabilization across northeast Iowa/southeast Minnesota into
Wisconsin, where low-level shear/SRH would conditionally be most
conducive for a tornado risk.
...South-central High Plains...
Have upgraded parts of the region to a categorical Slight Risk. A
front will settle southward across the region on Tuesday, with
increasing moist low-level upslope flow expected by late in the
day/evening across southeast Colorado and nearby parts of northeast
New Mexico and the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles. As the boundary layer
destabilizes, thunderstorms including some initial supercells are
likely to develop and intensify Tuesday afternoon near the
east-central/southeast Colorado Front Range and southeast Colorado
Plains. Isolated large hail and severe-caliber wind gusts are
initially expected, but the damaging-wind potential is expected to
increase with probable MCS development as storms spread into
southwest Kansas and towards the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle during the
evening.
Farther south, other higher-based thunderstorms capable of
strong/severe-caliber wind gusts will be possible late Tuesday
afternoon/early evening within the hot/deeply mixed environment
across other parts of the Texas Panhandle and Texas South Plains.
