    Mesoscale Discussion 1074
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0139 PM CDT Wed Jul 18 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of Central/Southeastern South
    Dakota...North-Central Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 181839Z - 182045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for severe wind, hail, and perhaps a tornado or
    two is increasing. A WW is likely by 19-20Z.

    DISCUSSION...Cumulus clouds are becoming increasingly agitated along
    and near a slowly northeastward advancing warm front located from
    northwest South Dakota to southeast South Dakota. A surface
    confluence zone was also apparent in visible satellite imagery from
    near Gregory County South Dakota southward into central Nebraska. A
    strong shortwave trough, especially for mid-July, will continue to
    progress southeastward any foster development of scattered severe
    storms across the area. Currently, the preferred area for
    development will be along the warm front where warm sector
    temperatures have risen to the low- to mid-80s. Development is less
    certain along the confluence axis where heating has been limited by
    cloud cover. With 30-45 kts of effective bulk shear and at least
    1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, storms will be able to organize and produce
    severe wind gusts and large hail. A tornado or two cannot be ruled
    out, particularly with initial cells near the warm front where
    low-level hodograph turning will be maximized. With time, storms
    should grow upscale into an MCS where the threat will shift to
    primarily severe wind gusts. A WW is likely by 19Z.
