    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 633...

    Valid 272233Z - 272330Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 633
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A cluster of supercells will remain capable of large to
    very large hail this evening. With time, upscale growth into a
    cluster could promote an increasing risk for severe wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2230 UTC, regional radar imagery showed a cluster
    of well-developed supercells ongoing over far southern SD and
    north-central NE. 3000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 40-50 kt of northwesterly
    deep-layer shear should continue to promote supercell structures
    with strong updrafts. Steep mid-level lapse rates (8-9 C/km) and 500
    mb temps of -10 to -11C will support hail with these storms. Some
    hail could be 2+ inches in diameter, especially with the more
    discrete storms on the western end of the ongoing cluster.

    Numerous storm interactions with storm splits are being observed
    over Cherry County, NE and far southern SD. Continued clustering and
    upscale growth appear likely over the next couple of hours and is
    also supported by short term model guidance. Further upscale growth,
    the strongly buoyant environment and sufficient deep-layer shear may
    favor an increasing risk of damaging gusts. A few gusts of 75+ mph
    are possible over central and possibly southern NE later this
    evening if a sufficiently strong cold pool is able to become
    established.
