MODELS SEEM TO BE HANDLING THINGS WELL. MODELS AGREE ON UPPER H5 WAVE MOVING NORTH AND STRENGTHENING. THIS WILL PUSH A SURFACE REFLECTION INTO THE WESTERN PART OF SOUTH DAKOTA. IT WILL INTERACT WITH OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN PLACE ACROSS THE STATE. PLACEMENT OF THIS BOUNDARY IS A LITTLE ELUSIVE BUT WILL BE MAJOR IN SPOTTING STRONGEST WEATHER.
