Watch issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Convection has been gradually maturing across northeast SD over the past couple of hours with one weakly organized supercell noted near KABR. This activity has been fairly isolated over the past hour and has periodically intensified to severe limits. More recently, new convection has developed northward near the ND border as warm air advection in the lowest 3 km increases (per the KABR VWP). VWP observations have also sampled strong 0-6 km bulk shear, which should support organized storms given adequate buoyancy on the eastern fringe of the richer low-level moisture plume. The combination of continued ascent and strong shear will maintain some potential for strong to severe convection through the evening hours as the nocturnal low-level jet continues to intensify, though a marginal thermodynamic environment and unfavorable storm motions along the initiation zone (may hinder discrete storm modes) may modulate overall storm intensity. The primary hazard will most likely be large hail, but a few strong/severe wind gusts are also possible. Given the isolated nature of the threat, watch issuance is not expected. ...Moore/Guyer.. 08/13/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_Kw0En_7aclBBpi29y-t9pK7d0F0M1j7qA-krs6P1v6eSE9W4Z7VyfzwXpEaKvlQTn4X8GvUf= kfr7z4xvZdcqDTxtdo$ for graphic product...
