CURRENT INDICATIONS SUGGEST SUSTAINED BOW ECHO/DERECHO WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPING ACROSS FAR WRN WI AND SERN MN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES WARM FRONT/INSTABILITY GRADIENT EXTENDING FROM FAR SERN MN SEWD INTO SERN WI/FAR NERN IL AND NRN IND ATTM. SBCAPES REMAIN EXTREME WITHIN WARM SECTOR...WITH VALUES OVER 4000 J/KG ACROSS SWRN WI AND ALMOST ALL OF IA. GIVEN THE INCREASING WSWLY FLOW OVER THE REGION...THIS AIRMASS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FEEDING THE SEVERE MCS AS IT MOVES ESEWD ACROSS WI THROUGH THE EVENING. VERY STRONG SHEAR AND ENHANCED STORM-RELATIVE INFLOW DUE TO SELY SURFACE WINDS ON COOL SIDE OF FRONT SHOULD SUPPORT ORGANIZED CONVECTION FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS...AND ENHANCE THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS. PRONOUNCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND SR-HELICITIES WILL ALSO MAINTAIN A THREAT OF SUPERCELLS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ALONG LEADING EDGE OF THE DERECHO. SRN EDGE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO NRN IL...THOUGH COOL/STABLE AIR OVER LAKE MI AND LOWER MI POSES MORE UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT SEVERE CONVECTION CAN MAKE IT INTO LOWER MI LATER TONIGHT. ATTM EXPECT MCS WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO LOWER MI...AND LIMIT THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE. ...CENTRAL PLAINS INTO IA... SURFACE COLD FRONT IS WELL DEFINED ATTM TRAILING SWWD FROM LOW CENTER OVER SWRN MN ACROSS NWRN IA AND INTO SWRN NEB/NERN CO. THOUGH EXTREME INSTABILITY IS PLACE...PRONOUNCED CAP IS INHIBITING CONVECTION ALONG THE FRONT. THE EXCEPTION IS INTO CENTRAL NEB WHERE STRONG HEATING AND CONVERGENCE WAS SUFFICIENT FOR DEEP CONVECTION. LATEST RUC HANDLED THIS DEVELOPMENT VERY WELL...AND SUGGESTS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPING INTO ERN NEB THROUGH THE EVENING AS STRONG SLY LLJ DEVELOPS ACROSS KS. COMBINATION OF FRONT AND SWD MOVING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM NRN MS VALLEY MCS SHOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CONVERGENCE FOR DEVELOPMENT INTO IA AS WELL. ACTIVITY OVER THIS REGION WILL LIKELY BECOME ELEVATED AS IT MOVES NORTH OF SURFACE FRONT...AND SHOULD POSE PRIMARY THREAT OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS. ...GULF COAST... TROPICAL SYSTEM HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON...AND IS SUPPORTING VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR ACROSS THE FL PANHANDLE/SWRN AL/SRN GA. SURFACE LOW IS ALSO DEEPENING THIS EVENING OVER S-CENTRAL AL. THIS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE SUPPORTING ISOLATED TORNADOES AS STORMS SHIFT EWD ACROSS THIS REGION OVERNIGHT. ...WRN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE NRN MID ATLANTIC... AIR MASS REMAINS MODERATELY UNSTABLE JUST AHEAD OF CONVECTION SHIFTING ESEWD ACROSS THIS AREA..WITH TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 70S AHEAD OF COLD FRONT MOVING SWD INTO NRN PA/SERN NY. EXPECT LOSS OF HEATING AFTER SUNSET WILL WEAKEN OVERALL CONVECTION OVER THE REGION ...THOUGH THE THREAT OF ISOLATED WIND/HAIL WILL PERSIST FOR ANOTHER FEW HOURS. /REFERENCE SWOMCD 1129 ISSUED FOR THIS AREA AT 0020Z./ ..EVANS.. 06/12/01 |
