   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE
   CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS STATES...

   CORRECTED HAIL PROBABILITY GRAPHIC

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms may develop from
   the northern Rockies into the middle and lower Missouri Valley
   Saturday into Saturday night. Damaging winds and hail will be most
   likely. An isolated tornado is possible over the middle Missouri
   Valley and vicinity.

   ...IA/NE/MO/KS...
   A broad upper ridge is centered over the four-corners region today,
   with the belt of stronger westerlies extending from the northern
   Rockies into the upper Midwest.  A cold front currently over the
   Dakotas will sag southeastward into eastern NE and northern IA by
   mid-afternoon, where a very warm and humid air mass will be present.
    Afternoon MLCAPE values over 2500 J/kg are expected, resulting in
   scattered thunderstorm development along/ahead of the front. 
   Activity will track southward into western MO and eastern KS during
   the evening before weakening after dark.  Initial storms over NE/IA
   will likely be supercellular with concerns for very large hail and
   perhaps a tornado or two.  As the storms track southward, upscale
   organization into a bowing MCS is expected with an increasing risk
   of wind damage.

   ...MT/SD...
   Strong westerly flow aloft will overlay the northern Plains today,
   while a weak cold front sags southward across MT.  Pockets of
   daytime heating will lead to afternoon temperatures well into the
   80s from southern MT into SD, with dewpoints in the upper 40s and
   50s.  Model guidance is in agreement that scattered thunderstorms
   will form over the mountains of western MT and develop/move eastward
   along the front during the afternoon/evening.  Forecast soundings
   suggest only marginal CAPE will develop, but given the strong winds
   aloft and considerable vertical shear, a few supercell storms are
   expected capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts.  These
   storms may be rather isolated, but may persist much of the evening
   and track quickly eastward into western/central SD.
