NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0338 PM CDT MON AUG 04 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST WY...SOUTHEAST MT...AND WESTERN SD
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 042038Z - 042215Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A FEW SUPERCELLS MAY DEVELOP WITH A THREAT OF SEVERE
HAIL/WIND DOWNSTREAM OF THE BIG HORN MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE
WESTERN/SOUTHERN SLOPES OF THE BLACK HILLS. WHILE OVERALL
COVERAGE/INTENSITY SHOULD BE LESS COMPARED TO FARTHER SOUTH IN THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH ISSUANCE IS POSSIBLE
IN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS.
DISCUSSION...INITIAL HIGH-BASED, LOW-TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
FORMED ALONG THE LEE OF THE BIG HORN MOUNTAINS, WITH A SEPARATE ARC
OF CONGESTED CU ALONG THE WEST TO SOUTH FLANK OF THE BLACK HILLS.
MUCH OF THE REGION BETWEEN AND AHEAD OF THESE REGIMES IS
CHARACTERIZED BY UPPER 40S TO MID 50S SURFACE DEW POINTS WITH LARGE
TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT SPREADS. THIS IS YIELDING MORE MODEST BUOYANCY
RELATIVE TO EASTERN CO AND SOUTHWEST NE. STILL, MODERATE DEEP-LAYER
SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT A FEW HIGH-BASED SUPERCELLS ACROSS SOUTHWEST SD
INTO THE NORTHEAST WY/FAR SOUTHEAST MT VICINITY BY EARLY EVENING. A
MIX OF SPORADIC SEVERE HAIL AND WIND APPEARS POSSIBLE. EXPECTED
COVERAGE/INTENSITY APPEARS MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH ISSUANCE.
