    Mesoscale Discussion 0695
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0215 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of northeastern WY...far southeastern
    MT...and western/central ND/SD

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 101915Z - 102115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for large hail, damaging winds, and a couple of
    tornadoes is increasing this afternoon. One or more watches will be
    issued by 4 PM CDT to address this threat.

    DISCUSSION...19Z surface analysis and recent visible satellite
    imagery place a cold front across far western ND/northwestern SD,
    continuing into northeastern WY. 19Z RAP mesoanalysis shows
    convective inhibition decreasing across the western Dakotas as
    temperatures warm into the 80s with dewpoints remaining in the mid
    to upper 60s. Steep mid-level lapse rates emanating from the
    northern/central High Plains/Rockies have overspread this region,
    and resultant strong instability, with MLCAPE around 2000-3500 J/kg,
    has developed ahead of the front this afternoon. Large-scale lift
    associated with an upper trough over the northern Rockies and
    low-level convergence along the front will initiate thunderstorms,
    likely around 20-21Z.

    Initial development along the front should be discrete/supercellular
    given 35-50 kt of effective bulk shear. Scattered large hail and
    damaging winds are expected, with some potential for isolated very
    large hail greater than 2 inches in diameter across northwestern SD/southwestern ND where instability will be greatest. A couple of
    tornadoes may also occur across this region in the vicinity of a
    surface triple point where low-level winds should remain backed to southeasterly, and in part of northeastern WY within a post-frontal
    upslope flow regime. With the strongest mid-level winds forecast to
    slightly lag the surface front and given the linear low-level
    forcing, convection will very likely grow upscale this evening into
    one or more bowing line segments. Damaging winds should therefore
    become the primary severe threat with time as thunderstorms move
    eastward into the central Dakotas.
