    Areas affected...Eastern South Dakota...Southeast North Dakota...and
    Far Western Minnesota

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

    Valid 032316Z - 040145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are likely to form in the next few hours across
    eastern South Dakota. Severe hail/wind are the primary threats.

    DISCUSSION...A band of clouds over the Dakotas could be in response
    to a subtle upper-level shortwave trough moving over the region.
    Additionally, a surface low is in central South Dakota with a
    surface boundary extending southwest into southeast Wyoming and a
    warm front extending east across South Dakota helping to enhance
    surface convergence. Per mesoanalysis, the environment is highly
    buoyant (3000-5000 J/kg of MLCAPE) with sufficient shear (effective
    bulk shear of 25-40 knots) to support strong/severe storm
    development. Deepening cumulus indicates diminishing convective
    inhibition across the area. ABR VAD data shows some low-level
    veering winds with height, but there is a weak backing component
    around 2 km AGL.

    Continued daytime heating and expected enhancement of the low-level
    jet should develop thunderstorms that could potentially become
    severe. Given the steep low-level lapse rates, large CAPE, and
    sufficient shear, severe hail/wind are possible. Storms could
    organize upscale into a QLCS and continued storm development is
    likely to the south/southwest of any ongoing convection.
