    Areas affected...Eastern Wyoming into southwest South Dakota and
    northwest Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 071716Z - 071945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing across the northern High Plains
    will gradually intensify through the afternoon. As this occurs, the
    probability for severe hail and wind will increase, including the
    potential for signification hail/wind as storms move into SD and NE.
    A watch will likely be needed in the coming hours.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are already ongoing across the northern
    High Plains in advance of a progressive upper-level shortwave
    trough. Despite meager instability depicted in recent analyses,
    strong deep-layer ascent will continue to support isolated to
    scattered weak thunderstorms for the next several hours. Storms will
    become increasingly surface-based through the early afternoon, and
    will likely begin to propagate to the southeast along a diffuse
    stationary boundary/buoyancy gradient. As this occurs, gradual
    intensification is expected as storms move into richer low-level
    moisture across far southwest SD and northwest NE (where dewpoints
    are in the upper 40s and low 50s) and as daytime heating boosts
    boundary-layer instability and diminishes inhibition. Hints of
    downstream destabilization are already noted in recent GOES imagery
    in the form of increasingly agitated cumulus across portions of the
    NE Panhandle.=20

    A 50-60 knot jet near 500 mb coupled with relatively weak low-level
    flow is supporting elongated hodographs with around 40-50 knots of
    effective bulk shear. In this kinematic environment, initially
    discrete cells may undergo splitting and will pose a threat for
    large to very large (up to 2 inches in diameter) hail. Low-level
    lapse rates have already steepened to near 8 C/km, and will support
    the potential for severe winds. The wind threat will likely increase
    late in the afternoon as storms begin to consolidate along the
    diffuse frontal boundary, though exactly when this transition will
    occur remains somewhat uncertain. Regardless, confidence remains
    high that a robust severe threat will emerge in the coming hours for
    portions of the central/northern High Plains, and a watch will
    likely be needed.

    Areas affected...Portions of southern AL into southwest GA and the
    FL Panhandle

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 302...303...

    Valid 151622Z - 151745Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 302, 303 continues.

    SUMMARY...The greatest severe threat in the next 1-2 hours should
    extend across parts of southern Alabama into southwest Georgia and
    the Florida Panhandle.

    DISCUSSION...The most intense convection across Tornado Watches
    302/303 should remain focused along/near a stalled boundary that
    extends from central MS into west-central/southern AL and southwest
    GA. Any supercells that can remain discrete will pose a threat for
    large hail, as moderate to strong instability and 45-50+ kt of
    deep-layer shear foster robust updrafts. There will also be some
    tendency for small clusters to develop and move east-southeastward
    along the front. This may already be occurring in southwestern AL.
    The threat for damaging winds will be greater with any cluster that
    can persist as low-level lapse rates steepen with continued daytime
    heating. The tornado threat remains less clear in the short term
    (next 1-2 hours). Latest mesoanalysis and KMOB/KTLH VWPs do show
    around 100-150 m2/s2 of 0-1 km SRH associated with a 25-35 kt
    southwesterly low-level jet. However, deviant storm motions to the
    right of the mean wind have generally not been observed this
    morning. Still, any surface-based supercell along/south of the
    boundary may pose a tornado threat, with somewhat better chances
    focused across far southeastern AL, southwest GA, and parts of the
    FL Panhandle in the near term.
