Areas affected...Southeast South Dakota...Far Southwest Minnesota

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 312356Z - 010200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...A severe threat may develop over part of southeastern
South Dakota over the next couple of hours. The severe threat may
also impact far southwest Minnesota later this evening. Large hail,
damaging wind gusts and an isolated tornado threat will be possible
with the stronger storms.

DISCUSSION...Over the last hour, mosaic radar imagery shows the
development of isolated strong storms about 50 to 60 statute miles
to the southwest of Sioux Falls. The storms are located to the
southwest of a pocket of extreme instability, where the RAP is
analyzing MLCAPE in the 4000 to 5500 J/kg range. In addition to the instability, the storms are being supported by large-scale ascent
associated with a northern Plains shortwave trough, evident on water
vapor imagery. Short-term model forecasts including the HRRR,
suggest that the storms will grow upscale into a larger convective
cluster, moving into southwestern Minnesota later this evening. The instability, combined with moderate deep-layer shear and steep
mid-level lapse rates (shown by the RAP), suggest that supercell
formation will be possible. Supercells will likely be associated
with large hail and isolated severe wind gusts. Hailstones greater
than 2 inches in diameter will be possible. A transition to a more
linear structure will be possible as low-level flow increases,
especially if a cold pool can organize.
