A watch may eventually be needed. DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms has developed over southeast SD and adjacent northwest MN, within the low-level warm-air advection to the west of the ongoing convective line over northeast MN. Air mass is this region is characterized by steep mid-level lapse rates and moderate vertical shear. Modest low-level stability is currently in place, contributing to the elevated character of the ongoing storms. However, diurnal heating and moisture advection should help destabilize the low-levels while steep mid-level lapse rates persist. As a result, the overall environment will gradually become more favorable for surface-based storms throughout the afternoon. The current environment favors hail as the primary severe risk, but the damaging wind potential should gradually increase as the low-levels destabilize. Convective evolution of this cluster is uncertain, but some potential for further organization/upscale growth exists. Convective trends will be monitored closely for potential watch issuance downstream across portions of southeast ND, far northeast SD, and northwest/west-central MN. ..Mosier/Thompson.. 07/10/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
