MD 1500 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 472... FOR FAR SOUTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...AND WESTERN MINNESOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 1500 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0813 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Areas affected...far southeastern North Dakota...and western Minnesota Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 472... Valid 290113Z - 290245Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 472 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells will continue to pose a risk for hail and damaging gusts. A brief tornado is also possible. DISCUSSION...Over the last couple of hours across southern portions of WW472, several supercells have organized. The environment ahead of these storms across southeastern ND and western MN remains very favorable for strong supercells with 4000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 40 kt of bulk shear. With the supercell mode and steep mid-level lapse rates present, large hail appears to be the most likely threat with these storms. However, these storms are approaching the northwestern fringes of a warm frontal zone with stronger low-level shear. This could support a brief tornado risk into this evening. Additionally, storms should begin to grow upscale and interact with additional storms farther south across MN. This is also supported by recent CAM guidance which shows eventual MCS development. This would support a greater risk for damaging gusts later this evening across southern portions of the watch. ..Lyons.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 473 SEVERE TSTM SD 282315Z - 290400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 473 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 515 PM MDT Sat Jun 28 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest and South-Central South Dakota * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 515 PM until 1000 PM MDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Intense supercell persistence is possible this evening across southwest to south-central South Dakota. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles north and south of a line from 15 miles north northwest of Rapid City SD to 55 miles southeast of Pierre SD. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MD 1499 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 473... FOR SOUTHWEST INTO SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 1499 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0735 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Areas affected...Southwest into south central South Dakota Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 473... Valid 290035Z - 290200Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 473 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for severe outflow gusts and wind-driven hail should persist through 02z. DISCUSSION...A persistent supercell with a history of 65-85 mph outflow gusts and hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter continues to move southeastward, loosely in tandem with the immediate cool side of a weak surface cold front. The 00z UNR sounding, combined with regional surface observations, suggests this storm will remain in an environment of sufficient buoyancy and vertical shear for storm maintenance for the next couple of hours. The observed storm structure also suggests the combined potential for wind-driven hail with severe outflow gusts on the right flank of the heavy-precipitation supercell. ..Thompson.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
