Large hail will be possible with the more discrete storms, with severe winds becoming the main threat with any upscale growing clusters. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is likely in the next hour or two. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and MRMS mosaic radar data show convective initiation underway across Sully, Hughes and Hyde Counties in central SD. These storms are developing amid a very buoyant airmass, characterized by 90s/70s F surface temperatures and dewpoints, overspread by 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates, contributing to 4000 J/kg MLCAPE amid eroding CINH. Elongated hodographs with modest low-level curvature are also contributing to 40+ kts of effective bulk shear, which favors supercell development. Any supercells that can develop and become sustained should be accompanied by severe hail and a tornado cannot be completely ruled out. Low-level shear is not overly strong, so some multicells/supercells may become outflow dominant or merge, potentially supporting the development of one or more MCSs later this evening. Should this occur, an organized severe wind threat may also materialize. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed in the next hour or two. ...Squitieri/Thompson.. 07/25/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9cTSHWuspaBZTth7MJqsffEqCxvVl07p1v8CF5oBOvdSfX9z7eprPU5Pepd30g78Yd_gOS-7R= xZU49Sv6xuIMACo2rM$ for graphic product...
