    Mesoscale Discussion 2002

    Areas affected...portions of central into eastern South Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 220505Z - 220730Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few instances of severe hail are possible tonight with
    the stronger elevated storms that develop.

    DISCUSSION...A few storms have shown some strengthening over the
    past couple of hours in eastern SD, with 40-50 dBZ echoes
    approaching 50 kft per MRMS mosaic radar data, which is also
    suggesting that hail may be approaching 1 inch in diameter.
    Furthermore, a mid-level vortmax is ejecting from the northern High
    Plains and is rapidly approaching central SD, which will aid in the
    initiation of additional storms through tonight. The ambient
    environment is characterized by over 3000 J/kg MUCAPE and 40-50 kts
    of effective bulk shear (originating from modestly curved
    hodographs). As such, any new storms that can develop and intensify
    later tonight may become elevated supercells capable of producing
    some severe hail. A severe gust or two also cannot be ruled out.
    However, the severe threat should be isolated overall, and a WW
    issuance is not currently expected.
