DISCUSSION...A few storms have shown some strengthening over the past couple of hours in eastern SD, with 40-50 dBZ echoes approaching 50 kft per MRMS mosaic radar data, which is also suggesting that hail may be approaching 1 inch in diameter. Furthermore, a mid-level vortmax is ejecting from the northern High Plains and is rapidly approaching central SD, which will aid in the initiation of additional storms through tonight. The ambient environment is characterized by over 3000 J/kg MUCAPE and 40-50 kts of effective bulk shear (originating from modestly curved hodographs). As such, any new storms that can develop and intensify later tonight may become elevated supercells capable of producing some severe hail. A severe gust or two also cannot be ruled out. However, the severe threat should be isolated overall, and a WW issuance is not currently expected. ...Squitieri/Mosier.. 08/22/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8ebf5AoOF7L7ryjv0fki8Zln_clsvg5JvbqeUhozHUYv-S94-wUmhA2oWgZiF8dBh9X-Imq45= ifGBEMjcKvF3yMKcxs$ for graphic product...
