...MN/IA...
A CLOSED-OFF UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE NRN PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE SLOWLY SEWD TODAY. STRONG LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ON THE EAST SIDE

DESTABILIZATION SHOULD CONTINUE ALONG THE MOIST AXIS THROUGH LATE

VERTICAL SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR A
FEW STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL LATE THIS
AFTERNOON.
