Valid 040428Z - 040600Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 485 continues. SUMMARY...The severe risk may spread/develop into parts of northeastern ND over the next few hours -- within Severe Thunderstorm Watch #485. DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms that has become outflow dominant in southern Manitoba is tracking slowly east-southeastward toward north-central/northeast ND. Ahead of these storms, additional elevated convection is developing at the nose of a strengthening 30-40 kt low-level jet. Over the next few hours, the convective cluster and downstream development may merge and track east-southeastward along the northeastern periphery of an instability gradient extending from northeastern ND into northwestern MN. Strong low-level warm advection accompanying the low-level jet and around 40-50 kt of effective shear may support a loosely organized cluster capable of producing damaging winds and sporadic large hail. Overall convective evolution remains uncertain, though a spatial extension of Severe Thunderstorm Watch #485 in northeastern ND and perhaps extreme northwest MN may become necessary. ...Weinman.. 07/04/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4RyGTpunl2uyFa7wn7CufYmR6IJ9_4DSZnT1O61T61PbHC7XlFN0TuekLgjC5mTayPHwMmbxz= hs1-VwnqKa_KNcCrmA$ for graphic product...
