    Mesoscale Discussion 1479
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0347 AM CDT Wed Sep 19 2018

    Areas affected...North-central to eastern SD and adjacent southwest
    MN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 190847Z - 191145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail should be the primary risk with the
    ongoing storm moving to the east-southeast through north-central
    South Dakota, and with any additional sustained storms that can
    develop and move into northeast and east-central South Dakota to
    southwest Minnesota through the early morning.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar imagery indicated mainly
    discrete storms and one that has evolved into a linear mode across north-central SD (Dewey County into Potter County). These storms
    were elevated, given their presence well north of the southern NE to
    northern MO synoptic boundary, with easterly surface winds across
    SD/MN and temperatures and dew points in the 50s to lower 60s F.
    Forcing for ascent appears to be primarily associated with a
    transient midlevel impulse tracking east across SD overnight and
    into MN after 12Z, while accompanying stronger westerly 500-mb
    winds/shear and steep lapse rates are supporting the threat for
    large hail.

    The track of the Dewey/Potter Counties storm indicated that it began
    to accelerate around 0730Z while moving through northern Ziebach
    County, and has a current movement at 0840Z toward the
    east-southeast at 45 kt. Although this storm and others that
    develop will be elevated, the potential may exist for a locally
    stronger wind gust to reach the surface. Similar to early yesterday
    morning (prior to sunrise), there likely exists dry air in the
    sub-cloud layer above the stable boundary layer per modified 00Z UNR
    sounding. Downdrafts penetrating this dry air layer could be
    enhanced such that higher-momentum air could reach the surface.
    Short-term guidance does not provide very much confidence in the
    forecast of the ongoing storms, though consensus of HREF members
    would suggest overall coverage of sustained and potentially severe
    storms should be isolated into this morning as convection spreads
    toward eastern SD and adjacent southwest MN.
