...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR AREAS OF
EXTREME EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...EXTREME NORTHWESTERN IOWA...AND FAR
SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms capable of severe wind gusts and hail are possible for
parts of the Upper Midwest into early tonight.

...Synopsis...
Strong to occasionally severe thunderstorms will continue to
progress northeastward across portions of the Upper Midwest in
advance of an approaching mid-level impulse. Despite meager moisture
return and associated buoyancy, a few more instances of severe hail
or wind may accompany the more organized storms given the presence
of strong shear and forcing for ascent. Nonetheless, boundary-layer
stabilization is underway in association with nocturnal cooling, and
the severe threat is expected to gradually subside into the late
evening hours. 

Meanwhile, a couple of strong thunderstorms may still develop in
advance of a richer moisture plume across the southern Plains as
surface lee troughing locally intensifies late tonight. RAP forecast
soundings depict very thin CAPE profiles given poor tropospheric
lapse rates, but long, straight hodographs. Any storms that can
mature and intensify may produce a severe gust or instance of large
hail.
