    Areas affected...Northeast SD...Western MN...Far Southeast MN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 302243Z - 010045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is possible by 23-00Z, with some
    threat for isolated severe hail and wind. At this time, the coverage
    and magnitude of the threat appears too low for watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...At 2230Z, a nearly stationary cold front is draped from north-central SD into southeast ND and western MN, with a secondary
    frontal surge noted across northwest MN into central ND. Filtered
    sunshine has allowed temps to rise into mid-upper 70s F, and
    relatively steep lapse rates are supporting MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg,
    despite the lack of richer low-level moisture across the region.
    Continued convergence along the nearly stationary front and slight
    mid-level cooling associated with an approaching vort max will allow
    for erosion of convective inhibition over the next 1-3 hours,
    resulting in the potential for at least widely scattered
    thunderstorm development. Effective shear of 30-40 kt will support
    some organized storm structures, and isolated instances of severe
    hail will be possible with the strongest updrafts. Steep low-level
    lapse rates will also support the potential for isolated severe wind
    gusts.

    At this time, the severe threat is expected to remain relatively
    isolated, and the threat should begin to diminish after 01-02Z with
    the onset of diurnal cooling/stabilization. With these factors in
    mind, watch issuance is currently considered unlikely.

    Areas affected...Atlantic coast of central Florida Peninsula into
    northeast Florida

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 091756Z - 092000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Widely scattered strong to severe storm development
    appears increasingly possible through 3-5 PM EDT. This may include
    an isolated supercell or two, with at least some risk for severe
    hail, localized damaging wind gusts and perhaps a tornado.

    DISCUSSION...Daytime heating of a moist boundary layer, including
    surface dew points around 70F, appears to be contributing to
    moderately large CAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg across much of the central
    Florida Peninsula into northeast Florida. This is occurring beneath
    moderately strong (40+ kt at 500 mb) and at least broadly difluent
    mid/upper flow, ahead of an approaching short wave trough,
    contributing to an environment potentially conducive to organized
    severe storm development.

    An increase in deepening convective development is now underway
    across interior portions of the Peninsula into northern Florida, in
    response to the boundary layer destabilization. However, low-level convergence, particularly across western into interior portions of
    the Peninsula remains generally weak.

    Through 19-21Z, it does appear that further insolation and boundary
    layer destabilization, coupled with at least pockets of increasing
    low-level convergence, particularly where enhanced by the Atlantic
    coast sea breeze, probably will support the initiation of widely
    scattered discrete storm development. This could include an
    isolated supercell or two, accompanied by at least some risk for
    severe hail, localized damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief
    tornado.
