Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected today, mainly this afternoon and evening, with primary risks of large hail and damaging winds. Today’s severe weather pattern looks to be a typical northern Black Hills supercell environment, capable of very large hail (2+"), though isolated tornadoes can`t be entirely ruled out. As storms push eastward over the plains through the evening hours, they may merge together and the threat will transition to a severe wind threat. The weather settles down as we head into the weekend. However, a ridge of high pressure will move over the region, bringing hot and dry conditions.
There is a slight risk for severe thunderstorms over most of the area on Thursday. Storms will be capable of producing large to very large hail and damaging winds. The chance of a tornado is small and conditional on if storms form in the right spot. Frequent lightning and heavy rain will also affect outdoor activities. Be sure to watch the weather and have a plan ready if you are outdoors!
