   Areas affected...portions of southern South Dakota into northern
   Nebraska

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 142153Z - 142300Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Storms should continue with an isolated severe wind and
   hail threat through the afternoon. A WW issuance is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...Clusters of thunderstorms have been maturing into
   multicells and transient supercells over the past couple of hours
   along the SD/NE border. Ahead of these storms, temperatures have
   warmed to around 80 F amid upper 40s F dewpoints (locally higher
   along a surface boundary), supporting around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE (per
   latest mesoanalysis and RAP forecast soundings). Deep-layer shear is
   relatively weak, but steep tropospheric lapse rates suggest that
   isolated instances of severe hail and wind may accompany the
   stronger updrafts, particularly with any sustained supercell
   structures this afternoon and evening. Given the isolated nature of
   the severe threat, a WW issuance is not anticipated.
