The overall pattern continued to be poor for severe weather on the High Plains. \u00a0The best chance for severe weather today was well to the east, from Missouri to Indiana; and well to our south, south of I-40 in the Texas Panhandle. \u00a0We were in Murdo, SD, so I opted to play the nearby marginal risk just to our west, near the Black Hills. \u00a0The tornado risk was no higher than a 2% in those distant alternate areas. \u00a0For us, the shear was marginal at best, and the instability was mediocre.<\/p>\n

Very early afternoon stuff went up around Belle Fourche. \u00a0It looked good for about ten minutes as we tried to get to it from Sturgis. \u00a0This stuff fizzled quickly. \u00a0 I think that it detrimentally affected later activity as the atmosphere got turned over and stabilized. \u00a0Still, we found a fairly healthy updraft later in the afternoon west of Belle Fourche. \u00a0We eventually wound up on a persistent rotating updraft base between Aladdin and Buelah in northeastern Wyoming. \u00a0This one looked decent for a while, but given the rather lame dew points, the storm base was on the high side and the tornado threat very low. \u00a0The storm sputtered as it neared South Dakota, probably because the early afternoon convection’s deleterious effects.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
