A watch is not expected. DISCUSSION...Attempts at convective initiation are underway across portions of northeastern ND, focused within a north/south-oriented confluence band, and near an antecedent differential heating zone. This activity may be aided by a lobe of midlevel ascent (evident in water-vapor imagery) rotating around the eastern periphery of a midlevel low over eastern MT. Middle/upper 60s dewpoints beneath a plume of steep midlevel lapse rates are contributing to moderate surface-based instability ahead of the developing storms. Additionally, regional VWP depicts a long hodograph with modest low-level hodograph curvature -- characterized by around 45 kt of effective shear. Given subtle mesoscale forcing, storm maturation is uncertain (especially given increasing nocturnal static stability), though the aforementioned parameter space will conditionally support a couple organized storms/supercells capable of producing large hail and locally severe gusts. Any severe threat here is expected to remain too isolated for a watch at this time. ...Weinman/Hart.. 09/18/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7tczntYsfIRAouPBRaLBiQ6J1h-C5StRPsmqDhuGr9VCllcYJBJ7QZ_gzsz_JZo0d3VEE6uHw= ko0CW5h3QqqoBd-NkE$ for graphic product...
