    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 142053Z - 142300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms may continue to slowly evolve
    to the west and northwest of the Pierre vicinity through 5-7 PM CDT, accompanied by occasional small to marginally severe hail and
    locally strong surface gusts. It is possible that the risk for
    potentially damaging wind gusts could increase later this evening.=20
    However, at least until then, it appears unlikely that a severe
    weather watch will be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Within lee surface troughing, inhibition is eroding
    with continuing insolation, for a destabilizing boundary layer near
    a modest low centered near Pierre. This is being aided by mid-level
    cooling overspreading the high plains, associated with the leading
    edge of troughing crossing the northern Rockies, which appears to be
    providing support for an evolving line of convection to the west of
    Mobridge into the Philip vicinity.

    A gradual further upscale growth appears possible during the next
    few hours, as convection acquires increasing inflow of unstable
    boundary-layer air becoming characterized by CAPE up to 2000 J/kg.=20
    In the presence of south-southwesterly deep-layer mean flow on the
    order of 10-15 kt, storm motions will remain slow initially.=20
    However, modest shear, aided by veering of wind fields with height,
    might slowly contribute to increasing organization into early
    evening, particularly as convective outflow supports an increasingly
    prominent surface cold pool. Once this occurs, the risk for strong
    to severe surface gusts may begin to increase. Until then, though,
    more localized strong surface gusts and occasional small to marginal
    severe hail appear the primary potential severe hazards.
