    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 145...

    Valid 012332Z - 020100Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 145
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Mainly an isolated large hail and damaging wind threat
    continues across WW 145. A tornado or two also remains possible,
    mainly across far north-central SD.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms formed this
    afternoon across parts of central SD along a surface trough. A
    narrow axis of richer low-level moisture characterized by low 60s
    dewpoints is oriented from northwest to southeast across this
    region. A corresponding maximum of instability is also present in
    the same general area, with 23Z RAP mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE
    up to 1500-2000 J/kg. Two supercells over far north-central SD have
    produced large hail up to the size of golf balls over the past hour,
    with more widely scattered convection also present over far
    south-central SD.

    As a cold front over western SD merges with the surface trough this
    evening, an increase in convective coverage appears likely across
    central SD and WW 145. Large hail and damaging winds will continue
    to be main threats given the favorable thermodynamic and kinematic
    environment. Eventual consolidation into a line would suggest a
    greater wind threat this evening with eastward extent. A extension
    in area of WW 145 into more of southeastern SD may be needed given
    current radar trends, but the environment does become less unstable
    due to a drier low-level airmass across this region. Finally, a
    small part of far north-central SD appears to have slightly stronger
    low-level flow, and a tornado cannot be ruled out across that area
    in the short term.
