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.
