    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 249...

    Valid 150608Z - 150745Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 249
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Some severe threat could spread northeast overnight.

    DISCUSSION...A long-lived storm cluster is moving northeastward
    across northeast NE and southeast SD early this morning, downstream
    of a midlevel shortwave trough and possible MCV over north-central
    NE. A rather strong low-level jet (evident on the KOAX and KFSD
    VWPs) and favorable upper-level difluence will help to maintain
    convection through the overnight hours. Moderate buoyancy will
    spread into a larger portion of eastern SD and southwest MN
    overnight, while modestly favorable deep-layer shear will continue
    to support organized convection.=20

    The strongest storms within this cluster will continue to be capable
    of producing isolated large hail and strong to locally severe gusts.
    Some increase in severe-wind potential is possible if more organized
    upscale growth occurs overnight, though this potential remains
    uncertain. Also, while the bulk of convection may remain somewhat
    elevated, there remains some conditional potential for
    near-surface-based supercells within the southern part of the
    cluster, and a tornado cannot be ruled out.=20

    With WW 249 scheduled to expire at 3 AM CDT, new watch issuance is
    possible overnight, depending on short-term observational trends.
