0111 PM CDT MON JUL 07 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA...FAR SOUTHEAST NORTH DAKOTA...AND FAR NORTHEAST NEBRASKA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 071811Z - 072015Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT
SUMMARY...GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION AND NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED
IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE
THE PRIMARY THREATS, WHICH MAY NECESSITATE WATCH ISSUANCE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...REGIONAL RADAR TRENDS SHOW A FEW AREAS OF
ONGOING/REGENERATIVE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY, ONE ACROSS PARTS OF
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND ONE WITH SLIGHTLY MORE INTENSE CONVECTION
ACROSS NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA, SOUTHEAST NORTH DAKOTA, AND
WEST-CENTRAL MINNESOTA. THE LATTER AREA HAS SHOWN TRANSIENT ATTEMPTS
AT ORGANIZATION BUT REMAINED SUB-SEVERE THUS FAR. DOWNSTREAM OF THIS
ACTIVITY, DAYTIME HEATING HAS ALLOWED FOR INCREASING DESTABILIZATION
AMID A MOIST LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS WITH DEW POINT TEMPERATURES IN THE
MID/UPPER 60S F. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWING A
DEVELOPING CUMULUS FIELD ACROSS EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTHEAST
NEBRASKA.
THE EXPECTATION IS FOR STORMS ACROSS NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA AND
VICINITY TO CONTINUE GRADUALLY INTENSIFYING THIS AFTERNOON IN
ASSOCIATION WITH BROAD ASCENT FROM A MID-LEVEL TROUGH OVERSPREADING
THE REGION. MLCAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST TO PEAK NEAR 1000 J/KG
IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN MORE ISOLATED COVERAGE
OF SEVERE WIND/HAIL WITH THESE STORMS.
FARTHER SOUTH, MORE ISOLATED STORM DEVELOPMENT SHOULD COMMENCE BY
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST SOUTH
DAKOTA, AS SUPPORTED BY RECENT CAM GUIDANCE, WHERE CONTINUED
DESTABILIZATION SHOULD RESULT IN MLCAPE VALUES OF 1500-2500 J/KG.
EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL INCREASE WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED APPROACHING
TROUGH, NEARING 35-40 KT. THIS SHOULD PROMOTE A MIX OF MULTICELLS
AND SUPERCELLS INITIALLY, WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
THE PRIMARY THREATS. WITH TIME, UPSCALE GROWTH OF CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE IF COLD POOL ORGANIZATION CAN OCCUR.
GIVEN THIS POTENTIAL, CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.
