...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES
REGION...
...SUMMARY...
Marginally severe thunderstorms are expected on Monday from parts of
the central Plains east-northeastward into the southern Great Lakes.
Strong wind gust and hail will be the primary threats.
...Central Plains/Lower Missouri Valley/Mid to Upper Mississippi
Valley/Southern Great Lakes...
An upper-level trough is forecast to move eastward across the
central and northern Plains on Monday as a cold front advances
south-southeastward into the central Plains and lower to mid
Mississippi Valley. Moderate to strong instability is expected to
develop by afternoon along and to the south of the front where
surface dewpoints should be in the upper 60s and lower 70s F.
Although large-scale ascent along the front should remain relatively
weak, surface heating and low-level convergence along the front will
help initiate thunderstorms along parts of the front during the mid
to late afternoon. There is some uncertainty as to the location of
the front by late afternoon but model consensus places the boundary
from northern Kansas east-northeastward into northern Illinois.
Convection that initiates along the front will move
east-southeastward into the stronger instability and may have a
marginal wind damage threat. Hail may also occur with the stronger
updrafts.
