Severe and Dangerous Storms Likely

After experiencing severe weather on Monday, the same areas may see an increased chance of severe thunderstorms this evening.

There is a likelihood of severe storms across central and eastern regions of the state starting late this afternoon and continuing into this evening.

According to the HRRR forecast model, thunderstorms are expected to develop across central and south-central South Dakota soon, with one storm already forming northwest of Pierre at 3:00 p.m. CDT on Monday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center is watching this area for a possible watch to be issued this afternoon.

Once these thunderstorms develop, they are expected to form into a line and quickly head eastward through the evening hours.

All forms of severe weather threats are in effect this evening across central and eastern regions of the state, including large hail, significant damaging winds, and tornadoes. Once the line forms, the primary threat will be damaging winds exceeding 80mph, with widespread damage possible. Quick spin-ups of tornadoes are also possible.
