    The author proves sufficient conditions for the existence of a strong solution of a parabolic variational inequality of the form \[ \begin{aligned}&\int_Q\left((\partial_ty+a_0(t,x,y,\nabla y) (\xi-y)+\sum_{1\leq i\leq n} a_i(t,x,y,\nabla y)\partial_i(\xi-y)\right)\, dx\,dt\\ &\geq \int_Qf(\xi-y)\, dx\,dt\;\quad \forall \xi\in K, \end{aligned} \] \(K=\{y\in X:\;y|_{\partial\Omega}\geq 0,\;y|_{t=0}=0\},\;X=L_p(0,T;W_p^1(\Omega)),\;p\in[2,\infty),\) \( Q=(0,T)\times \Omega,\;\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n .\) The author deals with an abstract form with the existence condition for \[ y\in K=\{\zeta \in X:\;\zeta(t)\in \mathbf K\;\text{a.e.},\;\zeta|_{t=0}=0\}, \] satisfying the nonstationary variational inequality \[ \langle \partial_t y,\xi-y\rangle +\langle A(y),\xi-y)\geq \langle f,\xi-y\rangle\quad \xi\in\mathbf K, \] where \(\mathbf K\) is a closed convex subset of a reflexive Banach space \(V\) satisfying \(0\in \mathbf K\) and the matching condition \(G(s)\mathbf K\subset \mathbf K\) with a semigroup \(G\) whose generator is the operator \(\partial_t.\)
