DISCUSSION...In the wake of one low-amplitude short-wavelength perturbation migrating through the Upper Midwest toward adjacent Great Lakes vicinity, a similar strength perturbation is gradually migrating north-northeastward through the central high plains, around the northwestern periphery of the prominent mid-level ridge centered over the Tennessee Valley. Downstream of this feature, forcing for ascent has maintained an arcing band of precipitation across Nebraska, which is preceded by a seasonably high moisture content boundary-layer that is destabilizing beneath relatively warm and dry layers aloft associated with the ridging. Within the strengthening zone of differential surface heating to the east of the precipitation band, mixed-layer CAPE is beginning to increase in excess of 2000 J/kg, beneath a modest belt of southwesterly mid-level flow which includes speeds of 30-40 kt in the 700-500 mb layer. Although mid/upper-level lapse rates are weak, as low-level lapse rates continue to steepen and inhibition erodes further, a corridor of increasing thunderstorm development appears probable across Nebraska, from the Lexington NE toward Sioux City IA vicinity, through 21-23Z. As this occurs, heavy precipitation loading and evaporative cooling in downdrafts may gradually contribute to downward momentum transfer accompanied by increasing potential for a few strong to severe severe gusts, in slowly organizing clusters. ...Kerr/Hart.. 06/25/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6r7URrfFvdB-TcFccmEVG3z9PmgsHWivHAGximkZgwph_h0QX20EdD36HbuiHVJm3QUOQck0t= kywSipz6yCcGI5LaCU$ for graphic product...
