    Mesoscale Discussion 1580

    0331 PM CDT Sun Jul 16 2023

    Areas affected...Parts of western SD into far northwestern NE

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 162031Z - 162300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and locally severe gusts are possible
    with any storms that can develop across the area this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite imagery indicates deepening boundary-layer cumulus generally focused over the Black Hills and a NW/SE-oriented pre-frontal confluence zone over southwestern SD this
    afternoon. Modified RAP forecast soundings over this area depict an
    uncapped air mass, characterized by steep midlevel lapse rates atop
    moist northeasterly low-level flow. Continued heating over the
    higher terrain and along the confluence zone may support isolated
    thunderstorm development during the next couple of hours, though
    storm coverage is uncertain given weak large-scale ascent over the
    area.=20

    If storms can develop, a long/straight hodograph (50-60 kt of
    effective shear) would support splitting supercells capable of
    producing large hail and locally severe gusts. Additionally, a
    back-door cold front will approach the area during the next few
    hours, which may also support an uptick in thunderstorms though the
    evening. While a watch is not currently expected given uncertainty
    on storm development/coverage, trends will be monitored.
