    Areas affected...Portions of Eastern South Dakota...southwest
    Minnesota...far southeast North Dakota...and far northeast Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 071811Z - 072015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Gradual intensification and new storm development expected
    in the next few hours. Large hail and damaging wind gusts will be
    the primary threats, which may necessitate watch issuance later this
    afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar trends show a few areas of
    ongoing/regenerative thunderstorm activity, one across parts of
    central South Dakota and one with slightly more intense convection
    across northeast South Dakota, southeast North Dakota, and
    west-central Minnesota. The latter area has shown transient attempts
    at organization but remained sub-severe thus far. Downstream of this
    activity, daytime heating has allowed for increasing destabilization
    amid a moist low-level airmass with dew point temperatures in the
    mid/upper 60s F. This is supported by visible satellite showing a
    developing cumulus field across eastern South Dakota and northeast
    Nebraska.

    The expectation is for storms across northeast South Dakota and
    vicinity to continue gradually intensifying this afternoon in
    association with broad ascent from a mid-level trough overspreading
    the region. MLCAPE values are forecast to peak near 1000 J/kg
    immediately downstream, which would result in more isolated coverage
    of severe wind/hail with these storms.

    Farther south, more isolated storm development should commence by
    mid to late afternoon across east-central and southeast South
    Dakota, as supported by recent CAM guidance, where continued
    destabilization should result in MLCAPE values of 1500-2500 J/kg.
    Effective shear will increase with the aforementioned approaching
    trough, nearing 35-40 kt. This should promote a mix of multicells
    and supercells initially, with large hail and damaging wind gusts
    the primary threats. With time, upscale growth of convection is
    possible if cold pool organization can occur.

    Given this potential, convective trends will continue to be
    monitored for the possibility of watch issuance later this
    afternoon.
