Isolated thunderstorms associated with severe gusts and hail will be possible across parts of the north-central U.S. on Wednesday. ...Central and Northern Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley... A large-scale anticyclonic flow pattern is forecast across the central and northern U.S. on Wednesday. At the surface, a moist airmass should be located from the Great Plains into the Mississippi Valley. As surface temperatures warm on Wednesday, moderate instability is expected to develop across much of the moist airmass. Due to the anticyclonic flow pattern and lack of any shortwave trough, large-scale ascent is forecast to remain weak over much of the north-central U.S. In spite of this, isolated thunderstorms may develop in areas that heat up that most, or along pre-existing boundaries. For cells that initiate and persist, deep-layer shear may be strong enough for an isolated severe threat. A few severe gusts and hail will be possible, but any threat should remain localized. ..Broyles.. 08/04/2025 $$
