    Mesoscale Discussion 0672

    Areas affected...Portions of eastern Wyoming...western South
    Dakota...and western Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 081901Z - 082100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to develop
    across parts of the region through this evening, with a primary
    threat of damaging winds and large hail. A couple tornadoes may also
    occur, primarily in southwestern South Dakota. One or more watches
    will be needed within the next two hours or so.

    DISCUSSION...One-minute visible imagery exhibits several fields of maturing/towering cumulus across the region this afternoon. The
    primary corridor for more rapid development exists from the Black
    Hills southeastward along a weak surface trough, where satellite and
    radar already have shown a few initial attempts at deep convective
    initiation. An 18Z UNR sounding sampled warm 700mb temperatures
    associated with the base of an EML, currently limiting convective
    growth away from higher terrain. Therefore, initial development
    should remain rooted to the Black Hills. However, gradual
    moistening/cooling aloft will overspread the region from the west
    and increase convective potential at lower elevations through the
    afternoon.

    Steep mid-level lapse rates, increasing effective shear, and
    continued heating/moistening of the boundary layer will support a
    primary threat of damaging winds and large hail within a mixture of
    supercell and multicell modes. Additionally, south/southeastward
    propagation east of the Black Hills may yield adequate
    storm-relative helicity for a threat of a couple tornadoes, prior to
    upscale growth by mid evening.

    This threat over South Dakota will likely necessitate watch issuance
    within the next two hours. Farther west/southwest into Wyoming,
    higher-based convection will gradually intensify as it reaches
    richer boundary-layer moisture with eastward extent, posing a
    damaging wind and large hail threat as well. These cells could be
    covered in the same watch as the SD threat or may be covered in a
    later watch, pending the relative timing of the two threats.
