    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 556...558...

    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.
