Valid 300243Z - 300445Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 556, 558 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat will likely continue for a few more hours from northeast Wyoming into western South Dakota. Isolated large hail and severe wind gusts will be possible. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-res radar imagery from Rapid City, South Dakota shows a small cluster of severe storms in far southeastern Montana. These storms are located within an upslope regime near an axis of low-level moisture where surface dewpoints are in the lower to mid 60s F. This is contributing to moderate instability, with the RAP estimating MLCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. Over the next couple of hours, short-term model forecasts move the storms southeastward across far northeast Wyoming and into western South Dakota, with convective coverage gradually increasing. RAP forecast soundings to the north of Rapid City have 0-6 km shear of 35 to 40 knots and 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7.5 C/km. This environment should continue to support a threat for supercells with severe gusts and isolated large hail. Intense multicell line segments could also produce strong to severe wind gusts. ...Broyles.. 07/30/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!59VA8rlj4tNS1pCCHr1czY4x1s33QK8kcDO_CbPAzfYXF9bkL7qdF24o47vWRC0ICcYWj7APQ= 8UYrVrSlFsvOoiGwpU$ for graphic product...
