   ...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.
