AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS/BLACK HILLS REGION
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 487...
VALID 052156Z - 060000Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 487
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL LIKELY BE WARRANTED
INTO WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. SEVERE WIND/HAIL
CAN BE EXPECTED WITH ORGANIZED CONVECTION SPREADING INTO THIS
REGION.
DISCUSSION...NOTABLE HIGH-LEVEL DIFFLUENT FLOW IS EVIDENT ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS EARLY THIS EVENING AHEAD OF A PROGRESSIVE
SHORT-WAVE TROUGH THAT IS ADVANCING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DEEP CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE TO
THIS PROGRESSIVE FEATURE, WITH A MATURING MCS BEGINNING TO SURGE
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MT. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO TURN SOUTHEAST
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, ALONG/NORTH OF A SURFACE FRONT THAT IS
DRAPED FROM THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE, ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE BLACK
HILLS, INTO THE NORTHERN BIG HORN MOUNTAINS NEAR BUFFALO. GREATEST
BUOYANCY EXTENDS ALONG THE MOIST SIDE OF THIS WIND SHIFT WHICH
FAVORS A SEVERE MCS PROPAGATING TOWARD THE BLACK HILLS LATER THIS
EVENING. NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED TO
REFLECT THIS SCENARIO.
