MD 1827 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 553...554... FOR MINNESOTA...FAR NORTHWEST IOWA...SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA...FAR NORTHEAST NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 1827 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0813 PM CDT Mon Jul 28 2025 Areas affected...Minnesota...Far Northwest Iowa...Southeast South Dakota...Far Northeast Nebraska Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 553...554... Valid 290113Z - 290315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 553, 554 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat will likely continue over the next few hours from central Minnesota southwestward into far southeast South Dakota and northwest Iowa. Wind damage and hail will be the primary threats, although a brief tornado could also occur. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows an MCS located from west-central Minnesota southwestward into southeast South Dakota and far northern Nebraska. The MCS is located to the north and northeast of a pocket of very strong instability, centered over far northeast Nebraska. The MCS is expected to move southeastward along a sharp gradient of instability into south-central Minnesota and northwest Iowa over the next few hours. A severe threat will likely continue with the stronger cells. Wind damage and hail will be the primary threats. The greatest severe threat may be over far southwest Minnesota, northwest Iowa and northeast Nebraska where the RAP shows the strongest instability. MLCAPE in that area is estimated to be in the 5500 to 6500 J/kg range. If a cold pool can organize and move quickly southeastward, then a swath of wind damage will be possible this evening. In that case, severe wind gusts in the 75 to 90 mph would be possible. ..Broyles.. 07/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...MPX...FSD...OAX...ABR...LBF...
