Areas affected...portions of the western into central Dakotas

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

Valid 202014Z - 202145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing across western and central
parts of both North Dakota and South Dakota, with large hail and
severe gusts the primary hazards. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch
issuance will likely be needed.

DISCUSSION...Convective initiation is underway ahead of an
approaching surface cold front, driven by low-level deep-moisture
convergence, and gradually increasing upper-level divergence
associated with the approaching mid-level trough. Mostly clear skies
ahead of the cold front has allowed for ample destabilization of the
boundary layer. Surface temperatures have warmed to over 90 F, amid
mid 60s F dewpoints, yielding over 3000 J/kg MLCAPE (given 7.5+ C/km
mid-level lapse rates overspreading the Dakotas), with CINH erosion
noted in the 20Z mesoanalysis. Mid-level flow is roughly parallel
with the surface cold front, with the stronger speed shear (i.e. 40+
kts of effective bulk shear) lagging the front to the west.
Nonetheless, ample buoyancy and modest deep-layer shear attempting
to precede the cold front will support the development of several
multicell clusters, short line segments, and perhaps a transient
supercell, all of which will be capable of producing severe
hail/winds. Given the number of storms expected ahead of the surface
cold front, a WW issuance will likely be needed.
