SINGLE SEVERE CELL SUSTAINING ITSELF AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO LOCALIZED AXIS OF ENHANCED LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY. HAVE LOCALLY EXTENDED EARLIER TORNADO WATCH TO COVER THIS CELL AS IT MOVES INTO NERN NEBRASKA/NEAR KSUX AREA. ALSO GETTING ISOLATED SEVERE HAIL IN WARM ADVECTION STORMS ACROSS SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. ELONGATED UPPER WAVE DRIVING THE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST OF THE AREA AROUND 06Z...SO PREVIOUS FORECAST DIMINISHING TSRA CHANCES AFTER 06Z STILL LOOKS REASONABLE. UPDATED GRIDS/ZFP/PFM HAVE BEEN SENT. && .AVIATION... SCATTERED TSRA AROUND THE AREA LATE THIS EVENING EXPECTED TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER 06Z AS UPPER WAVE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND RELATIVELY LIGHT WIND FLOW WILL LEAD TO POTENTIAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF MVFR-IFR VSBYS IN BR AND LOCALIZED MVFR-IFR CIGS AFTER 06Z-08Z. ANY STRATUS/BR LIKELY TO IMPROVE AFTER 15Z-16Z WEDNESDAY...WITH THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL TSRA DEVELOPMENT LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS ANOTHER UPPER WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA. && .PREV DISCUSSION...

NEVERTHELESS MOISTURE INSTBLTY AND SHEAR SEEM AMPLE FOR ISOLD SVR STORMS.

LOW LYING STRATUS AND FOG ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF CWA IN THE MORNING WILL LIFT AND GIVEWAY TO STRONG HEATING. AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE WORK INTO NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA EXPECT CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA BUILDING DOWN INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA IN THE EVENING HOURS. APPEARS AS THOUGH THE DEEPER MOISTURE WILL BE CONFINED TO AREAS SOUTH OF I-90...WHILE BETTER LIFT WILL BE FOCUSED NORTH OF FORECAST AREA. SHORTWAVE TRAIN GRADUALLY SAGS SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH A SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IN THE MORNING AND THEN AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL JET STREAKS ALSO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE DAY PROVIDING ADDED UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. MODELS PORTEND ADDITIONAL DESTABILIZATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH ATMOSPHERE BECOMING QUITE UNSTABLE BY THURSDAY EVENING. SHEAR PROFILES ARE NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE...BUT CAPE VALUES CLIMB TO 2000-3000 J/KG. EXPECT MAIN SEVERE THREAT TO BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT A TORNADO OR TWO ALONG A BOUNDARY. LOW LYING STRATUS WILL HANG ON THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY HAMPERING DAYTIME HEATING. KEPT MENTION OF SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN HALF OF FORECAST THROUGH MID-DAY. AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS EXPECT LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS TO GRUDGINGLY SHIFT EAST. FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE FAIRLY CLOSELY IN THE LATTER PERIODS WITH GFS AND ECMWF IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL PATTERN. MODELS SUGGEST UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CONUS WITH WARMING TREND THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

MODELS DISAGREE ON HOW MUCH WARMING ALOFT...WITH THE ECMWF RUNNING IN THE LOWER 20S...NEARLY 5 DEGREES C WARMER THAN THE GFS. FOR NOW...SIDED CLOSER TO GFS BUT WITH DEVELOPMENT OF LOW LEVEL JET RAISED FORECAST LOWS. FORECAST AREA MAY BE INFLUENCED BY A RIDGE RIDER OR TWO HEADED INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK PRIOR TO CAP BUILDING IN.
