DISCUSSION...DEEPER CUMULUS HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR THE SD/NE BORDER.
ADDITIONAL, BUT MORE SHALLOW, DEVELOPMENT HAS ALSO BEEN NOTED FROM
NEAR SIOUX FALLS INTO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. HOW SOON ANY OF THIS
ACTIVITY CAN DEVELOP INTO SUSTAINED THUNDERSTORMS IS NOT CLEAR GIVEN
THE SUBTLY RISING MID-LEVEL HEIGHTS THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE STRONG
SURFACE HEATING, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A STORM OR TWO DEVELOPS WITHIN
THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. HOWEVER, IT IS MORE PROBABLE THAT MORE ROBUST

SUPERCELLS. TIMING OF WATCH ISSUANCE REMAINS UNCERTAIN. IT IS MORE
PROBABLE BY LATE AFTERNOON, BUT COULD BE SOONER IF CONVECTIVE TRENDS
WARRANT.
