Some high clouds are streaming across the northern plains, with showers and storms developing across central Wyoming. At the surface, cold front has just moved through Rapid City, with very warm and dry air moving in from the west. Strong southerly boundary layer flow across the South Dakota plains has temps in the 80s to around 90 degrees at 2 PM, with dewpoints in the 50s.

CAMs are showing a line of storms developing from Lemmon south to Philip and Martin by 5-6PM, moving east into central SD early this evening. Main threats will be large hail and damaging winds. Further west - closer to the upper trof - ongoing showers and thunderstorms in central WY will move into northeast WY and western SD this afternoon and evening.
