DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite imagery indicates deepening boundary-layer cumulus generally focused over the Black Hills and a NW/SE-oriented pre-frontal confluence zone over southwestern SD this afternoon. Modified RAP forecast soundings over this area depict an uncapped air mass, characterized by steep midlevel lapse rates atop moist northeasterly low-level flow. Continued heating over the higher terrain and along the confluence zone may support isolated thunderstorm development during the next couple of hours, though storm coverage is uncertain given weak large-scale ascent over the area.=20 If storms can develop, a long/straight hodograph (50-60 kt of effective shear) would support splitting supercells capable of producing large hail and locally severe gusts. Additionally, a back-door cold front will approach the area during the next few hours, which may also support an uptick in thunderstorms though the evening. While a watch is not currently expected given uncertainty on storm development/coverage, trends will be monitored. ...Weinman/Bunting.. 07/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-CssFxI09_N_ASHlo-4xdgyKukxmoDQLKyKStjkA_PD_CVcQJ1U46YrJ5ZL8qB8VVmG3LXGer= ok1sT7dvpVUBPaumy8$ for graphic product...
