MD 1231 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 1231
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0907 PM CDT Fri Jun 23 2023
Areas affected...portions of central and eastern South Dakota
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely
Valid 240207Z - 240300Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Widespread strong to severe thunderstorms should continue
to grow upscale into an MCS across western/Central SD this evening.
A new Watch is needed downstream to cover the risk for damaging
winds, hail, and tornado or two.
DISCUSSION...Across portions of western SD, numerous thunderstorms
have initiated ahead of a mid-level shortwave trough ejecting
eastward out of WY. A well-developed squall line across far western
SD should continue eastward with moderate buoyancy and increasing
effective shear continue to favor storm organization. As broad-scale
ascent continue to increase this evening ahead of the ejecting
shortwave, numerous ongoing storms ahead of the established squall
line should result in upscale growth and MCS development over
central SD. Damaging winds and hail are likely along with a tornado
or two as the MCS matures later this evening. A new Severe
Thunderstorm Watch is likely needed this evening into the overnight.
