Valid 170016Z - 170145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 381 continues. SUMMARY...Severe threat will gradually shift southeast this evening. DISCUSSION...Scattered convection that initiated over the northern Black Hills has propagated off the higher terrain and a well-identifiable outflow boundary has surged ahead of this cluster. Several storm mergers are now occurring along this boundary over Oglala Lakota County SD, while new updrafts are developing along the wind shift between Chadron and Hot Springs. This activity should continue to grow upscale over the next few hours as it propagates southeast. With LLJ expected to increase into this region it should provide some longevity to the expanding complex. Hail and wind remain possible with this maturing MCS. ..Darrow.. 07/17/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LBF...UNR...CYS...
