1125 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1200 AM CDT

FOR MITCHELL...EASTERN SMITH...JEWELL...NORTHEASTERN OSBORNE...

EASTERN KEARNEY...WEBSTER...ADAMS...CLAY...EASTERN FRANKLIN AND

NUCKOLLS COUNTIES...

AT 1125 PM CDT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE LOCATED ALONG A LINE

EXTENDING FROM NEAR HEARTWELL TO NEAR BLADEN TO 8 MILES WEST OF

IONIA...MOVING EAST AT 50 MPH.

THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS STORMS.

HAZARD...90 MPH WIND GUSTS AND GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL.

if they had such thing as PDS SVR TSTM warnings, this would definitely meet criteria

Yeah here's a new one so I guess that wasn't a mistake?

HUNTER...MOVING EAST AT 105 MPH.

Monday still looks really impressive in NE/IA and perhaps extending north into MN and SD on the 00z GFS/NAM. Tuesday might not be bad either looking at the GFS.

 

Yeah this looks very impressive.  Moisture quality will (finally) be fantastic.  00z GFS forecast soundings show the cap eroding away by 21z over northwest Iowa, with explosive convection taking place.  We should see at least a few large supercells blow up along that warm front, with over 5000j/kg cape feeding into them.  The Sioux City/Storm Lake/Fort Dodge corridor continue to look fantastic.

Not only that, the low level shear is very strong even earlier on before the LLJ fully intensifies. The leftover mid level cold pool from the ULL that develops from today's trough in addition to the s/w trough passing through the region makes a world of difference in terms of cap strength.

30% hatched region added in D2 outlook, with some strong wording. You can see how the entire risk area is hatched, with basically any storms that develop being capable of sig svr given the parameter space.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0100 AM CDT SUN JUN 15 2014  
 
VALID 161200Z - 171200Z  

   
..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS MUCH OF IA
 
ERN  
NEB...SERN SD AND SRN MN...  
   
..SUMMARY
 
 
SEVERE WIND...LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS  
WESTERN IOWA...EASTERN NEBRASKA...SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND  
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.  
   
..SYNOPSIS
 
 
HEIGHT RISES WILL OCCUR OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY EARLY IN THE DAY AS  
AN UPPER TROUGH DEPARTS INTO CANADA. BEHIND THIS  
FEATURE...RELATIVELY NEUTRAL SWLY FLOW WILL REMAIN...WITH PERHAPS A  
LOW-AMPLITUDE IMPULSE OVER THE SLIGHT RISK AREA LATE IN THE DAY  
ENHANCING WIND SPEEDS. WITH LOW PRESSURE FROM CNTRL SD INTO WRN  
NEB/KS DEVELOPING...STRONG SLY SURFACE FLOW WILL RESULT IN  
SUBSTANTIAL NWD ADVECTION OF MOISTURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG  
INSTABILITY E OF THE DRYLINE AND S OF A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM  
SERN SD INTO SRN MN BY 00Z.  
 
ELSEWHERE...AFOREMENTIONED DRYLINE MAY SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ISOLATED  
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WRN TX.  
   
..ERN SD/NEB INTO IA AND SRN MN
 
 
RAPID MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL LEAD TO STRONG DESTABILIZATION FROM  
ERN NEB INTO IA ALONG AND S OF A WARM FRONT. LIFT DUE TO WARM  
ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT  
BY 00Z FROM SERN SD INTO WRN MN AND WRN IA. LARGE LOOPING HODOGRAPHS  
WILL EXIST ALONG THE WARM FRONT...AND WITH STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE  
RATES IN PLACE...STRONG INSTABILITY WILL ALSO EXIST. SUBTLE FORCING  
ALONG THE WARM FRONT LENDS SOME UNCERTAINTY TO THIS FORECAST...BUT  
FORECAST SOUNDINGS IN THE INITIATION ZONE WOULD CLEARLY FAVOR  
TORNADOES...POSSIBLY STRONG...AND VERY LARGE HAIL GIVEN A  
SUPERCELLULAR STORM MODE.
IN ADDITION...STEEPER LOW-LEVEL LAPSE  
RATES WILL EXIST INTO E CNTRL NEB. THERE IS A CONDITIONAL THREAT OF  
ALL THREE MODES OF SIGNIFICANT SEVERE...WITH THE MAIN UNCERTAINTY  
HOW QUICKLY UPSCALE GROWTH INTO AN MCS MIGHT OCCUR.  
   
..W TX
 
 
STRONG HEATING WILL OCCUR ACROSS WRN TX WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IN  
THE WELL-MIXED AIR FOR A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. MARGINALLY SEVERE  
HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH LOCALLY STRONG WIND  
GUSTS...BUT WEAK FLOW/SHEAR SUPPORTS ONLY AN ISOLATED DIURNAL  
THREAT.

as a bit of a note here, southern MN , including the south end of St Paul and Minneapolis, actually had some measurable wind damage yesterday from a collapsing line of storms that came in from the dakotas late morning and just went kaput just to the south and east of a line from MKT to MPX. gusts with the convective collapse were in the 50-60 range behind the decaying line of showers and t-storms, at least as measured in MKT, FCM, MSP, STP, and FBL.

New D2 outlook.

 

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1232 PM CDT SUN JUN 15 2014

VALID 161200Z - 171200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM PORTIONS OF ERN SD/ERN NEB
EWD ACROSS SRN MN/MUCH OF IOWA INTO SWRN WI...

...SUMMARY...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND
TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA
AND NEBRASKA EASTWARD ACROSS MUCH OF IOWA...SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND
SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER
PORTIONS OF WEST TEXAS.

...SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AT 12Z
MONDAY WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. UPPER LEVEL
HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND FROM TEXAS EASTWARD TO THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
A BELT OF STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW WILL EXTEND FROM THE GREAT BASIN
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES.

AT THE SURFACE...A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS WHILE A DRYLINE EXTENDS SOUTHWARD FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.

...ERN SD/NEB EASTWARD INTO IA/SRN MN AND SWRN WI...
LOW-LEVEL AIR MASS RECOVERY FROM RECENT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE
WELL UNDERWAY AT 12Z MONDAY...WITH MID-UPPER 60S DEW POINTS
RETURNING TO THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS. A WEAK SURFACE LOW WILL
LIKELY MOVE EASTWARD IN THE VICINITY OF THE NEB/SD BORDER AS A WARM
FRONT EXTENDING EASTWARD FROM THE LOW LIFTS NORTHWARD. A DRYLINE
WILL EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO WEST TX. AS AN UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE MOVES
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS DURING THE DAY
PROVIDING LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE WARM FRONT ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA AND MOVE EAST/NORTHEAST. IN THE PRESENCE OF
MODERATE-STRONG SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY AND 40-50 KTS OF
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR...INITIALLY DISCRETE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE
SUPERCELLULAR IN NATURE AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST AN
ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES. STRONG
LOW/MID-LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL RESULT IN LOW-LEVEL SRH IN EXCESS OF
250 M2/S2 IN THE VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT...AND THE RISK OF STRONG
TORNADOES WILL BE GREATEST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING HOURS
. WITH TIME...UPSCALE GROWTH INTO A SEVERE MCS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH AN INCREASED THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS.

A CATEGORICAL UPGRADE TO MODERATE RISK IS POSSIBLE IN SUBSEQUENT
OUTLOOKS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SLIGHT RISK AREA AS CONFIDENCE
INCREASES IN THE LOCATION OF THE WARM FRONT AND THE DETAILS
REGARDING THUNDERSTORM INITIATION AND EVOLUTION.


...WEST TEXAS...
STRONG DAYTIME HEATING WILL LIKELY RESULT IN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT DURING THE AFTERNOON IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL SUPPORT
DAMAGING GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL. OVERALL COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE
SPARSE IN THIS AREA.

Yeah sig tor and sup composite maxed out pretty much at 21z but lots of precip which worries me.

Myself and Victor Gensini still thinking about heading out. Deciding tonight.

 

The precip signature doesn't look that linear though, it more has the look of a cluster of supercells.

As has been the case all year, model trends in the final stretch are not looking favorable for tomorrow, IMHO. Yesterday's runs had me increasingly excited about E NE and W IA during the afternoon and evening, and last night's 4 km NAM depicted prolific supercells developing within the reservoir of 4000-6000 J/kg SBCAPE and traversing that region. The trend today has been toward morning initiation right along the boundary in SD/MN, with storms growing upscale quickly and transforming the baroclinic zone from a nice late-season warm front to yet another outflow-reinforced, discontinuous density current surging south. This is eerily similar to what happened in NE on June 3, the HIGH risk day.

 

Granted, I'm not dismissing the tornado potential with the activity along the boundary, even if it develops early in the day. But it would be yet another messy scenario with tempered likelihood of long-track, strong tornadoes.

 

If convective initiation can manage to occur to the south away from any ongoing MCS during the late afternoon or evening, this still looks very volatile. But there isn't a lot of model support for that on today's guidance. I will note, though, that overall there's been a bit of a bias toward underforecasting convection in the Plains this year.
