    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 051910Z - 052045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat is gradually increasing across portions
    of the MO Valley. Damaging gusts, large hail, and perhaps a couple
    of tornadoes are possible. Convective trends are being monitored for
    the need of a WW issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Skies have been clearing ahead of a surface low, within
    a confluence band, which roughly coincides the NE/IA/SD border area.
    Along and just to the west of the confluence-band axis, surface
    dewpoints are exceeding 70F, contributing to 2000 J/kg SBCAPE within
    the warm sector, ahead of the surface low. Backed low-level winds
    within the area of the confluence band is contributing to locally
    stronger low-level shear across southeast SD into extreme northwest
    IA. Here, the 1856Z FSD VAD shows an appreciably curved low-level
    hodograph and 200 m2/s2 of 0-3 km SRH. This low-level shear also
    coincides the richer low-level moisture, supporting a localized
    tornado threat. Farther southeast along the NE/IA border, up to 40
    kts of effective bulk shear exists, which may support a couple of
    supercells capable of damaging gusts or large hail.

    Convective coverage is uncertain within the warm sector. As such,
    convective trends will continue to be monitored for the need of a WW
    issuance should more widespread storm development become apparent.
