Mesoscale Discussion 1121
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0505 PM CDT Mon Jul 06 2020
Areas affected...extreme southeast South Dakota and northeast
Nebraska
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 062205Z - 062330Z
CORRECTED FOR WRONG GEOGRAPHIC DESIGNATION
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to pose some risk for isolated
strong to damaging wind gusts and hail through early evening. WW
issuance is uncertain at this time. However, trends will continue to
be monitored for better storm organization and a possible WW.
DISCUSSION...A small cluster of thunderstorms has developed along a
cold front over the southeast SD northeast NE border and is moving
slowly southeast. The downstream atmosphere is moderately to
strongly unstable with 2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE and 7-7.5 C/km
mid-level lapse rates. Storms should develop south-southeast next
few hours supported by lift along the consolidating outflow
boundary. The storms reside south of the stronger flow aloft with
modest (20-30 kt) westerly mid-level winds along with less than 35
kt effective bulk shear. This environment will support multicell
storm modes next few hours along with some risk for hail and strong
wind gusts. After sunset, increasing convective inhibition may
contribute to a decrease in storm intensity/organization, especially
given expected lack of a low-level jet. In the near term if storms
begin to show signs of becoming better organized as an MCS, a severe
thunderstorm watch might be needed.
