    Mesoscale Discussion 1061
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0352 PM CDT Mon Jul 16 2018

    Areas affected...Parts of South-central and Southwestern South Dakota...Nebraska Panhandle into north-central Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 162052Z - 162245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Cumulus clouds have become increasingly agitated within
    the discussion area. A conditional threat exists for large hail and
    severe wind gusts, with storm initiation/evolution uncertain.
    Convective trends will be monitored for a possible WW issuance later
    this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Cumulus clouds across south-central and southwestern
    South Dakota along and near a theta-E gradient and over the Black
    Hills. Afternoon heating across the area, with low- to mid-60s
    dewpoints in place, has lead to MLCAPE values of 1500-2500 J/kg.
    With continued heating and approaching mid-level ascent, some CAMs
    develop a cluster of storms in South Dakota and move them
    south/southeastward into Nebraska. However, given upstream mid-level
    ridging, uncertainty exists with regard to if storms will initiate
    and how much coverage there will be. The greatest threat for severe
    hail will be with any initial storms, should they develop, in South
    Dakota as effective bulk shear of 30-40 kts will favor storm
    organization. Any storms that do develop will also pose a risk of
    severe wind gusts given the steep low-level lapse rates and high
    surface temperature/dewpoint spreads.

    Additional storms may also move out of Wyoming into southwest South
    Dakota and the Nebraska Panhandle later this evening. These storms
    will primarily pose a severe wind gust risk given the expected
    linear/cluster storm mode. Given the overall uncertainty in the
    exact evolution of this event, convective trends will continue to be
    monitored for the possible issuance of a WW.
