    Areas affected...Far northwest MO into south-central IA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 011524Z - 011800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail approaching 1 inch in diameter will be
    possible into the early afternoon from far northwest Missouri into south-central Iowa. Low expected coverage of a severe hail threat
    precludes the need for a watch.

    DISCUSSION...Mid-late morning trends in mosaic radar imagery
    indicated some increase in thunderstorm development within the
    west/southwest extent of a cluster of convection/embedded storms
    spreading to the east-northeast across northern MO into central IA.
    12Z observed sounding analysis indicated this activity is elevated
    near and north of a warm front draped to the southeast across
    northern MO. A weakening, though still modest, southwesterly
    low-level jet up to 45 kt is supporting low-level warm advection
    into the western extent of aforementioned MO/IA cluster of storms.
    Ascent within the nose of this jet combined with the entrance region
    of a 55-kt 500-mb jet extending from eastern NE into the upper
    Mississippi Valley will prove favorable in supporting additional
    storms into the early afternoon, before these features weaken/depart
    this region.

    MRMS MESH data indicated a few storms with possible hail approaching
    1 inch between 1430-15Z. Although trends have diminished since 15Z,
    colder 500-mb temperatures at the TOP 12Z sounding spreading
    northeast into the early afternoon combined with effective bulk
    shear for storm organization suggest hail could approach 1 inch
    through 18-19Z.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0303
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0938 AM CDT Thu Apr 11 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of central/eastern SD...southeastern
    ND...and western/central MN

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 111438Z - 112045Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snow, with rates of 1 inch per hour, and
    strong/gusty winds will combine to create localized blizzard
    conditions through the afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A band of moderate to heavy snow with rates around 1
    inch per hour is ongoing across parts of central/eastern SD into
    western MN in association with pronounced frontogenesis in the
    850-700 mb layer on the northern flank of a deep cyclone over NE/KS.
    Locally higher snowfall rates to around 2 inches per hour will be
    possible within strongest elements of the band. This deformation
    band is expected to shift northeastward into southeastern ND and
    parts of western/central MN through this afternoon in tandem with
    the progression of the mid/upper-level system. A strong surface
    pressure gradient exists across the northern Plains into the Upper
    Midwest, with a 989 mb low located near Omaha, NE at 1430Z.
    East-northeasterly surface winds gusting to 35-40 kt are decreasing visibilities to around 1/4 of a mile and creating localized blizzard
    conditions across parts of this region. A pocket of weak elevated
    instability (MUCAPE up to 500 J/kg) is present across this region,
    and scattered thunderstorms likely rooted above 700 mb should be
    capable of producing some sleet and perhaps even some small hail.
