Severe storms producing hail and wind are possible mainly from eastern North Dakota into northwest Minnesota Thursday afternoon and evening. ....Discussion... On Thursday, a shortwave trough will continue eastward into the northern Plains during the day, with primary upper low well north into Canada. The southern periphery of this wave will move across ND and northern MN late day and overnight, with cooling aloft and increasing midlevel winds of 40-50 kt. At the surface, a cold front will be located from eastern ND into western SD during the afternoon, and will move into northern MN overnight. Southwest winds will bring moisture northward ahead of the front, with moderate instability forecast. Effective shear of 40-50 kt will develop late as the upper wave approaches and low-level jet increases. Storms are most likely to form around 00Z along the deeper cold front over eastern ND, and progress across northwest MN during the evening. Large hail appears likely as storm mode should be cellular. Strong heating into central SD may also yield isolated cells a bit farther south than forecast by many models, also with large hail threat. ...Jewell.. 08/12/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
