    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 508...

    Valid 180138Z - 180345Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 508
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms will continue in the High Plains.
    Upscale growth is possible as the low-level jet increases. Large
    hail and severe wind gusts are the primary hazards. Very large hail
    could occur with discrete storms.

    DISCUSSION...Two primary clusters of convection are ongoing in far
    eastern Wyoming into adjacent western South Dakota and Nebraska.
    Though convective intensity has been a bit muted thus far, likely
    due to limited moisture, large hail has been reported with the
    activity moving into the Black Hills region. The observed 00Z RAP
    and LBF soundings did show stout capping. Deep-layer shear and
    mid-level lapse rates were favorable for severe storms, however.
    Low-level moisture does improve, particularly in the Nebraska
    Panhandle. It is possible some uptick in intensity may occur. There
    is a small window where a discrete storm could intensify and produce
    large/very large hail. The more probable scenario at this point is
    for the southeasterly low-level jet to increase over the next few
    hours--which has begun given recent VAD data--and promote additional
    storm development and eventual upscale growth. At that time, severe
    wind gusts, perhaps in excess of 75 mph, would become more probable.
