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. ...Squitieri/Smith.. 08/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7CbnnXP0dnst9S-qwfKDzWoB3O6NC-wbiQUTW4OXNbfqSusKwYa8HCHtskxibBPrCPWHO7n-t= imwomCExnsLEf8RGMQ$ for graphic product...
