...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms are possible across portions of the central
Plains into the eastern Dakotas, and western Minnesota and Iowa on
Monday.

...Central/Northern Plains to western MN/IA...

An strong upper trough will shift eastward from the northern Rockies
to the northern Plains on Monday. This will result in shifting the
upper ridge eastward, and strong height falls leading to a band of
strong westerly flow across the central/northern Plains to the Upper
Midwest. Most guidance shows boundary layer moisture will increase
on strong southerly low level flow, with surface dewpoints climbing
into the mid 60s F. Strong heating will result in moderate to strong
destabilization ahead of a surface low and convection should develop
by peak heating along a surface trough/weak frontal boundary from
the eastern Dakotas southwestward into central NE. 

Backed low level winds in the vicinity of the surface low across
eastern SD/northeast NE eastward into western MN/northwest IA will
enhance effective shear and SRH. Organized cells capable of all
severe hazards appear possible, though uncertainty remains in how
long discrete convection could persist as a low level jet
strengthens during the evening and some upscale development is
likely as storms shift eastward toward the Upper Midwest. While some
uncertainty remains due to periods of prior convection in the days
prior to Monday, and the exact timing of the ejecting wave,
confidence has increased sufficiently to include a corridor of 15%
severe probabilities.
