Areas affected...Northern/central ND

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 577...

Valid 010148Z - 010315Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 577
continues.

SUMMARY...Isolated supercells may persist into late evening before
weakening.

DISCUSSION...Two strong thunderstorms have persisted this evening
across northern and central ND. While the environment generally
remains favorable for organized storms, with MLCAPE in excess of
2000 J/kg and effective shear of 45-50 kt (per the 00 UTC BIS
sounding), these storms have struggled to maintain severe intensity
this evening. This may be due to a combination of dry midlevel
conditions and rather weak storm-relative flow, in the absence of
stronger large-scale ascent or surface mass response.=20

The northernmost supercell likely has the greatest potential for
persisting into late evening, since it is a larger storm and is
associated with a broader convective outflow. This storm has
recently intensified, and strong mid/upper-level flow (in addition
to the instability/shear environment described above) remains
favorable for large hail production. Strong to potentially severe
outflow gusts will also remain possible with this storm. The
southern storm has occasionally displayed supercell characteristics,
but has struggled to grow in size and intensify, and may be more
prone to dissipation in the near term. However, this storm will also
pose an isolated hail threat for as long as it persists this
evening.
