Areas affected...portions of southwestern South Dakota

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 132035Z - 132200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated severe hail/wind threat may accompany any
multicell or supercell that can develop and become sustained this
afternoon. Given the spatially and temporally constricted nature of
the severe threat, a WW issuance is not expected.

DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery depicts agitated CU/attempt
at convective initiation over the Black Hills of South Dakota,
driven by afternoon peak heating, some orographic lift, and the
approach of a 500 mb vort max (per 20Z mesoanalysis). RAP forecast
soundings depict a well-mixed boundary layer extending to 700 mb,
suggesting that any storms that can become sustained will likely be
high-based in nature. Forecast soundings show hodographs of modest
length and curvature (hence 30 kts of effective bulk shear) that
will gradually enlarge/lengthen through the afternoon, supporting
multicells and perhaps a few splitting supercells. While some MLCINH
remains, over 1000 J/kg MLCAPE is present, which could support
strong enough storms to potentially produce large hail and severe
gusts, especially if a sustained supercell structure can
materialize. Nonetheless, the severe threat should remain isolated,
so a WW issuance is not anticipated.
