    Mesoscale Discussion 0752
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0306 PM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of northeast SD...far southeast ND...and
    western MN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 162006Z - 162130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop across the
    area around 5-7pm CDT. A few of these storms will be severe, with an
    attendant threat of a few tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail.
    A tornado watch will likely be issued by 4pm CDT.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows a cumulus field expanding/spreading north across the region this afternoon, as the
    boundary layer continues to warm/moisten behind earlier convection.
    As weak mid-level ascent overspreads the eastern Dakotas from the
    west and a low-level jet strengthens into early evening, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along a front stretching from
    northeast South Dakota east/northeast into central Minnesota.

    South of this front, very rich moisture and temps in the 80s are
    combining with steep lapse rates aloft to yield around 2000-3000
    J/kg of MLCAPE currently. Considerable veering of winds with height
    will be favorable for supercells, capable of large hail, damaging
    winds, and a few tornadoes. A strong tornado or two may be possible,
    owing to ample storm-relative helicity accompanying the
    strengthening low-level jet. This particular threat may be highly
    regulated by RFD evolutions that are characteristic of HP
    structures, owing to some weakness in mid-level storm-relative flow. Regardless, a tornado watch will likely be issued by 4pm CDT.
