    Mesoscale Discussion 1474
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0248 AM CDT Tue Sep 18 2018

    Areas affected...South-central...southeast and east-central SD

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 180748Z - 181015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An ongoing cluster of elevated storms moving to the east
    across south-central South Dakota is expected to have a greater
    potential to produce a periodic threat for large hail, as it tracks
    into southeast and east-central South Dakota during the next few
    hours. If these storms are able to maintain their intensity, then
    portions of far southwest Minnesota and adjacent northwest Iowa
    could be affected, as well, toward 7 AM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...IR imagery indicated cooling cloud tops again with the
    ongoing eastward-moving SD cluster of storms, located in the
    south-central part of this state at 0736Z. A progressive midlevel
    impulse shifting east from western SD/NE combined with warm
    advection at the apex of the western branch of the central Plains
    southerly low-level jet has been supporting this somewhat
    disorganized cluster, as it moved through weaker instability.
    Although weak forcing aloft will be maintained as the impulse moves
    east early this morning, this cluster will be advancing into the
    eastern branch of the Great Plains low-level jet as it veers to
    westerly by 12Z. This latter evolution in the low-level wind field
    will eventually limit convergence into this cluster of storms,
    suggesting a diminishing trend in coverage of stronger storms and
    potential decrease in activity. Until this trend occurs, this
    cluster of storms will begin to encounter stronger elevated
    instability that is present across southeast SD into southwest MN
    and northwest IA that should promote stronger updrafts in the short
    term and larger hail at times.
