Areas affected...north-central South Dakota into North Dakota

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 282051Z - 282315Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...Scattered severe storms are likely to develop over the
next couple hours, with very large hail, damaging gusts, and a
tornado or two expected.

DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a low over west-central SD, with
a pre-frontal trough extending northward into western ND. A cold
front continues to surge eastward across the western Dakotas,
enhancing low-level convergence.

Meanwhile, a warm front currently extends from near Bismarck into
northeast SD, with upper 60s to near 70 F dewpoints nearby. The
combination of daytime heating and the moist air mass had led to a
pocket of strong destabilization with several thousand MUCAPE
despite mediocre midlevel lapse rates.

Visible imagery show rapidly develop cumulus fields in the warmer
air near the surface low, and farther north into central ND where
convergence is maximized along the boundaries. Given the continued
heating and convergence, storms are expected to form within the next
couple hours.

Veering winds with height along with the approaching upper trough
will favor slow-moving supercells at first, producing very large
hail and perhaps a tornado or two. With time, a linear storm mode is
likely with damaging winds.
