    Areas affected...northeast South Dakota/southeast North Dakota...and
    into central Minnesota

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 180...

    Valid 170201Z - 170400Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 180 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe risk, along with potential for a tornado or two,
    continues in/near WW 180.

    DISCUSSION...An increase in convective coverage has been noted over
    the past 1-2 hours in conjunction with an increase in warm advection
    associated with a developing/south-southwesterly low-level jet.
    Along with this increase in coverage, an uptick in convective
    intensity has been noted as well. This is particularly true in the
    Hyde/Hand county area of South Dakota, and now spreading into
    Spink/Beadle counties, where a supercell storm -- now undergoing
    complex evolution -- is indicated. This storm had been moving
    east-northeast along a weak/roughly southeast-to-northwest boundary
    per the base reflectivity loop from the KABR WSR-88D, which likely
    aided in enhancement of updraft rotation over a several volume scan
    time frame.

    Evening RAOBs from ABR and particularly MPX depict a favorable
    thermodynamic environment for continued convective increase, driven
    by low-level warm advection, but gradual boundary-layer
    cooling/stabilization is ongoing. Thus, while fairly strong
    low-level shear is indicated across the region, tornado risk should
    remain local/limited, and should begin to diminish gradually over
    the next few hours. Meanwhile, as storms continue to increase in
    coverage, expect risk for hail, as well as locally enhanced wind
    gusts, to persist, with some risk spreading east of the watch with
    time. A new WW -- or extension of the existing watch -- may be
    needed to cover this potential as convective coverage expands.
