    Mesoscale Discussion 0733

    Areas affected...western SD...southwest ND...northwest NE

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

    Valid 141958Z - 142100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is forecast generally after 21Z
    over far western portions of SD. Once thunderstorms develop and
    intensify, large hail and severe gusts (60-70 mph) are possible with
    the stronger thunderstorms. An evolution of a thunderstorm cluster
    growing upscale into a severe-wind producing MCS will seemingly
    occur this evening and significant severe gusts (greater than 75
    mph) are possible during the mature phase of the MCS.

    DISCUSSION...Visible-satellite imagery shows a high-based cumulus
    field beginning to develop east of the Black Hills with a mid-level
    accas shield moving into western SD from northeastern WY. Surface
    observations show temperatures have warmed to around 100 degrees F
    near Rapid City with dewpoints in the low-mid 50s. Farther
    northeast, richer moisture characterized by upper 60s to near 70
    dewpoints will likely be maintained as a strong capping inversion
    aids in increasing moisture quality as deeper boundary-layer mixing
    occurs.

    Much of the large-scale forcing for ascent is forecast to pass to
    the north near the ND/Canadian border. Yet, very deep boundary
    layer circulations and convective temperatures likely being breached
    will help facilitate convective initiation over western SD and
    northwest NE from eastern WY. As the mid-level convection over
    northeast WY moves downstream into an environment with richer
    low-level moisture (located near the cumulus field),
    high/surface-based thunderstorm development is expected near and
    after 21Z.

    The 19Z Rapid City RAOB showed a nearly dry adiabatic surface-500 mb
    lapse rate and southwesterly flow gradually strengthening with
    height and yielding around 35 kt effective shear. The moderate to
    strong buoyancy farther east/northeast coupled with deep-layer shear
    favorable for organized storms, will favor severe thunderstorm
    development. Large hail and isolated severe gusts are the primary
    threats over western SD before becoming predominately a wind threat
    (perhaps significant) into central portions of SD and south-central
    ND.
