Valid 072157Z - 072330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 494 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for a tornado or two and occasional large hail/wind damage will persist. DISCUSSION...A few supercells are ongoing across east central and northeast ND. The more favorable zone for a tornado or two will remain along the northwest-southeast oriented baroclinic zone across extreme northeast ND, where both vertical shear/buoyancy and vertical vorticity are maximized along and to the immediate cool side of the front. Farther south, a couple of storms are ongoing immediately ahead of the surface wind shift/trough. Moderate buoyancy is present through this zone where surface temperatures have warmed into the mid-upper 70s with mid 60s dewpoints, but relatively straight hodographs support some potential for large hail. Overall, storms are expected to remain semi-discrete and the severe threat should peak between now and 00z in the zone of modest forcing for ascent with a midlevel shortwave trough now moving over northeast ND. ...Thompson.. 07/07/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6zMGuu5vYTAzRINU5JMBiUbSACRzwBlqk3-cNgjkqk07tDkErcKIpdCJ9MmAG-VV43JHQzGFD= cBoQ5Ghim5tC0QqUSE$ for graphic product...
