Severe hail and wind are the main threats. Convective coverage trends are being monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. DISCUSSION...MRMS mosaic radar imagery depicts an increase in convective intensity across ND as a subtle mid-level trough overspreads the region, with at least one supercell taking shape in Cavalier County, ND. Though appreciable convective inhibition remains in place, strong surface heating of a moist low-level airmass (characterized by near 70 F surface dewpoints) supports 3000-5000 J/kg MLCAPE (per 21Z mesoanalysis). At the moment, it is unclear if the upper support across the northern Plains will compensate for the substantial CINH to support a relatively widespread severe threat. On the other hand, given the instability, any storm that can mature and become sustained should support a severe wind and hail threat. As such, convective trends will continue to be monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. ...Squitieri/Thompson.. 07/25/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_aOGGblaP-_YxqOTgLR5uQn8IFyC44vaRfLB3q21aMk_TxKzNsofXCXPMbpvnmjsrP8Kdxsi1= 86IMgKGf0JRmv0DAbM$ for graphic product...
