Discussion... convection should develop rapidly over the next 1-2 hours over swrn SD and wrn neb as air mass continues to destabilize and large scale ascent increases ahead of fast moving shortwave trough. Isolated severe thunderstorms may also form within elevated area of convection now moving across nern neb. Mlcapes should strengthen into the 1500-2500 j/kg range through the early evening... with deep layer shear remaining supportive of supercells and organized lines/Bow echoes. Activity will likely evolve into a mcs by the mid evening.
Aviation... a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 25035.
