Limited coverage and magnitude will preclude the need for a watch. DISCUSSION...Elevated thunderstorms are ongoing across northwest SD and adjacent far southwest ND, supported by warm-air advection within the localized warm conveyor associated with the mesoscale convective vortex currently over far northwest SD. These thunderstorms are forecast to continue north-northeastward over the next few hours while gradually weakening in response to decreasing warm-air advection. Even so, the environment downstream across south-central ND appears favorable for evaporatively enhanced downbursts and the potential for some strong gusts. Farther north, a west-to-east oriented band of thunderstorms recently developed in response to persistent warm-air advection near the terminus of the low-level jet that extends across the Plains. Recent radar imagery has shown that the previously more cellular storms may be transitioning into a more clustered mode, with some more easterly motion noted as well. Low-level stability will persist downstream, but enough elevated buoyancy is expected to allow for thunderstorm persistence. Consequently, the developing linear cluster will likely continue east-southeastward with an attendant risk for isolated hail. A strong gust or two may be able to reach the surface as well. ...Mosier/Edwards.. 09/16/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5P0AnPeRKMF8OppkRWzxsVTIk-RdTkLOjL_k-2Lji_I3n-cM68QJuiRaHbMSDBjJn4-z8kkLr= soqGXiP_qx7ryw8LTI$ for graphic product...
