It is also a beautiful day here with temperatures in the 70s and a nice breeze.

Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over portions of the
   central Plains late this afternoon and evening.

   ...Central Plains...
   Early-morning satellite imagery shows a progressive shortwave trough
   moving quickly across the central/eastern Dakotas. This shortwave is
   embedded within broad upper troughing that covers much of the
   western and central CONUS. Upper ridging centered over the
   Mid-Atlantic covers much of the eastern CONUS.

   Recent surface analysis places a low over the eastern ND/SD border
   vicinity. A cold front extends southward from this low across
   eastern SD and then back more southwestward across central NE and
   northwest KS. This low is expected to progress quickly northeastward
   just ahead of its parent shortwave, with the cold front making
   steady eastward/southeastward progress as well. Airmass preceding
   this cold front will be modestly moist, with dewpoints likely in the
   upper 50s/lows 60s from the central Plains into the Upper Midwest,
   despite relatively strong pre-frontal heating/mixing. Even with
   these warm and modestly moist pre-frontal conditions, buoyancy will
   remain limited due to warm mid-level temperatures. Still,
   thunderstorm development appears probable along the length of front
   from the Upper Midwest into the central Plains. Given the limited
   buoyancy and front-parallel orientation of the deep-layer vertical
   shear, much of this development will likely be undercut quickly by
   the progressive front. 

   This convective evolution should temper the overall severe
   potential, despite seasonally strong mid-level southwesterly flow
   near the frontal zone. Greatest severe threat is expected over
   western/central KS, where the best overlap between the modest
   buoyancy and moderate shear exists. A few more organized updrafts
   capable of producing large hail and strong gusts are possible here.

Isolated severe wind gusts/hail may accompany the stronger
   thunderstorms that develop from the central Rockies/High Plains into
   the northern Plains late this afternoon into tonight.

   ...Central Rockies/High Plains into the Northern Plains...
   An upper trough/low with attendant strong south-southwesterly
   mid-level jet will advance eastward today from the Great Basin
   across the central Rockies/High Plains, eventually reaching the
   northern Plains late tonight. At the surface, a cold front extends
   from the Dakotas southwestward to eastern WY/north-central CO. This
   front should serve as a focus for strong to isolated severe
   thunderstorms this afternoon through tonight. Recent observations
   and 12Z observed soundings along/ahead of the front show limited
   low-level moisture, with surface dewpoints generally in the mid 40s
   to 50s. Even with filtered diurnal heating through this afternoon,
   instability is forecast to remain rather weak as low-level lapse
   rates gradually steepen with deep boundary layer mixing. Stronger
   mid-level flow associated with the upper trough is expected to
   overspread the central High Plains by mid to late afternoon, where
   up to 500 J/kg of MLCAPE appears plausible.

   Current expectations are for high-based thunderstorms to spread
   northeastward from the central Rockies into the adjacent High Plains
   this afternoon and evening in a weakly unstable but strongly sheared
   environment. This may support an organized cluster or two, capable
   of producing mainly isolated strong to severe gusts. The greatest
   severe wind potential still appears focused across parts of
   southeast WY/northeast CO into the NE Panhandle, where the Slight
   Risk has been maintained with no changes.

 Thunderstorms capable of isolated severe gusts and hail will be
   possible from late this afternoon into tonight from parts of the
   Intermountain West into the central and northern Rockies.

   ...Intermountain West into the Central/Northern Rockies...
   A well-defined, slightly positively tilted shortwave trough is
   currently progressing through northern/central CA. Eastward
   progression is expected to continue throughout the day, with the
   shortwave forecast reach western UT by early Saturday morning with a
   more neutral tilt. Strong mid-level flow will extend throughout the
   base of this shortwave, spreading from central/southern CA into the
   central Intermountain West as the wave moves eastward. Strong
   large-scale forcing for ascent will precede this wave as well,
   contributing to isolated to scattered thunderstorms throughout much
   of the Great Basin into the western Slopes. Strong daytime heating
   and steep low to mid-level lapse rates will support buoyancy
   throughout much of this region, although the relatively scant
   low-level moisture will keep the overall buoyancy modest. Even with
   the modest buoyancy, high-based storms combined with moderate
   low/mid-level flow could still result in a few strong surface gusts.
   Greatest chance for a few gust will be later this afternoon/early
   evening from northern into east-central UT. Persistent forcing for
   ascent will result in thunderstorm development throughout the
   evening and overnight amid strengthening mid-level flow and cooling
   mid-level temperatures. Buoyancy will remain modest, but a few
   instances of hail are possible this evening and tonight,
   particularly across northern/eastern UT and vicinity.

   ...Elsewhere...
   A broad and weak upper low will remain centered over the central
   Gulf Coast, with lift associated with this system contributing to
   thunderstorms within the moist airmass in place along the Gulf Coast
   and FL.
