Areas affected...portions of eastern South Dakota

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 280346Z - 280515Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...At least a few severe gusts could occur in eastern SD,
east of ongoing Severe Thunderstorm Watch 478. An additional
downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed pending favorable
convective trends and high enough confidence in continued severe
gusts.

DISCUSSION...The southern portions of a mature MCS continue to
rapidly progress eastward, with echo tops exceeding 50 kft at times.
The southern portion of this MCS remains well organized, and
continues to produce measured severe gusts (per recent surface
observations). Though MLCINH continues to increase, 03Z mesoanalysis
also shows 3000 J/kg MLCAPE immediately to the south of the ongoing
MCS, which is likely supporting continued severe potential. Surface
temperatures and MLCAPE do decrease with eastern extent into eastern
SD, so it is unclear if/how much of the severe gust threat will
extend past the bounds of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 478. As such,
convective intensity and wind report trends will continue to be
monitored for the need of a WW issuance over the next few hours.
