KUDX RADAR SHOWING MAIN BAND OF SEVERE STORMS MOVING NORTH AND EAST OUT OF THE CWA. SOME LINGERING STORMS REMAIN ACROSS FAR NORTHWESTERN SD INTO CENTRAL SD AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN SD. THE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL SD FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES OVER THE CENTRAL DAKOTAS AND GOOD INSTABILITY REMAINS.
