AN EARLY AFD IN CASE THE REST OF THIS NIGHT TURNS BUSIER. LLJ

850 MB MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH 50 KNOT LLJ TO HELP SET
BOUNDARY ALONG THE SD/NE BORDER INTO NW IA. WHILE CAP/CIN WL
DOMINATE FURTHER S...TSTMS SHOULD EASILY BREAK CAP BETWEEN I-29 AND
SRN BOUNDARIES OF THE CWA GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE BOUNDARY. SPC PLACES
MODERATE RISK OF SVR WX FOR ALL OF THE FSD CWA...AND WL GET NO

ISSUED ONCE THE CURRENT WATCH FOR THU NGT WX EXPIRES.
