    Mesoscale Discussion 1941

    Areas affected...Northeast South Dakota and adjacent portions of
    North Dakota and Minnesota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 132351Z - 140145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms across northeast South Dakota (and
    eventually far southeast North Dakota and far western Minnesota)
    will pose an isolated hail risk this evening. Watch issuance is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has been gradually maturing across northeast
    SD over the past couple of hours with one weakly organized supercell
    noted near KABR. This activity has been fairly isolated over the
    past hour and has periodically intensified to severe limits. More
    recently, new convection has developed northward near the ND border
    as warm air advection in the lowest 3 km increases (per the KABR
    VWP). VWP observations have also sampled strong 0-6 km bulk shear,
    which should support organized storms given adequate buoyancy on the
    eastern fringe of the richer low-level moisture plume. The
    combination of continued ascent and strong shear will maintain some
    potential for strong to severe convection through the evening hours
    as the nocturnal low-level jet continues to intensify, though a
    marginal thermodynamic environment and unfavorable storm motions
    along the initiation zone (may hinder discrete storm modes) may
    modulate overall storm intensity. The primary hazard will most
    likely be large hail, but a few strong/severe wind gusts are also
    possible. Given the isolated nature of the threat, watch issuance is
    not expected.
