The severe threat should remain isolated and a WW issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Agitated cumulus, along with sparse areas of convective initiation, are underway ahead of a diffuse trailing cold front from extreme eastern MT, eastward along the SD/ND border. Ample heating has mixed the boundary layer, with observed upper 70s/low 80s F temperatures amid low 60s F dewpoints, overspread by 8.5+ C/km boundary-layer lapse rates (20Z mesoanalysis). Given the dry boundary layer, RAP forecast soundings depict the 1000 J/kg MLCAPE (currently in place) distributed in tall/skinny profiles, though unidirectional speed shear is in place. As such, a few multicells or transient supercells may become sustained and support an instance or two of severe hail/wind. Since the severe threat should be sparse, a WW issuance is not expected. ...Squitieri/Guyer.. 08/09/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_oF9Uz_MjQaFjishONTR2y6MGO1Ls19moBdXPF2S-8tqCHPk5yB2g0Zy6lLt0gLWwpNLlxirG= jcYk7ZUYQ6XsBr0FVg$ for graphic product...
