...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
DAKOTAS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are expected late Sunday afternoon through evening
over parts of the northern Plains. A few strong storms may affect
the central Gulf Coast states related to tropical cyclone Cristobal.
...Northern Plains...
A northward-ejecting upper wave will be near the US/CN border early
Sunday, and will quickly depart north. Only brief ridging will occur
before height falls commence by late afternoon as a strong upper jet
moves through the Great Basin.
Low pressure will deepen over the northern High Plains Sunday
afternoon, with center over western SD at 00Z. Strong heating and
mixing will occur along the length of the High Plains, with a
dryline extending south from the low. Strong instability with
develop, with mid 60s F dewpoints and steep lapse rate profiles.
Capping will likely erode by around 21Z with initiation likely in
the hot/deeply mixed air near the low.
Although some storms may be high based initially, wind profiles will
strongly favor supercells, with very large hail, damaging wind, and
a few tornadoes as effective SRH averages 200-300 m2/s2. Capping
will increase during the evening, but any supercells approaching the
moist axis may persist for some time, helped by a strong southerly
low-level jet. A few elevated storms may develop during the day in
the warm advection regime into northern MN as well.
...Central Gulf Coast states...
Tropical moisture will surge northward on Sunday in association with
Cristobal which is forecast to become a tropical storm. Mid 70s F
dewpoints will contribute to minimal SBCAPE across southern LA/MS/AL
with strengthening low-level shear conditionally favoring rotation,
and a couple brief tornadoes.
