Mesoscale Discussion 2077 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0328 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025 Areas affected...eastern South Dakota...far western Iowa...far northeastern Nebraska...far western Minnesota Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 142028Z - 142200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Marginal risk for wind and hail to continue this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity across portions of eastern South Dakota into northern Nebraska has shown recent uptick in intensity, with a few reports of severe gusts up to 50-60 mph near Watertown, SD and Sioux City, IA. This activity is ongoing in the region of a modest low-level jet and pocket of daytime heating where MLCAPE around 1000-1500 J/kg is observed. For now, it appears this activity will stay fairly widely scattered amid generally weaker shear profiles and in the wake of the morning MCV, and as such a watch is unlikely. ..Thornton/Guyer.. 09/14/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
