    Mesoscale Discussion 0671
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0106 PM CDT Fri Jun 08 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of eastern North Dakota and northwestern
    Minnesota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 081806Z - 081930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A localized threat for gusty winds and perhaps a brief
    tornado or two may exist this afternoon. Watch issuance is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...On the eastern edge of a mid-level impulse, modest
    large-scale ascent and weak surface confluence are focusing
    relatively shallow convection across eastern North Dakota early this
    afternoon. Although 700-500mb lapse rates are poor, ongoing surface heating/moistening is contributing to marginal MLCAPE (generally
    around 200-400 J/kg), and these values may rise to around 500-750
    J/kg over the next few hours. Development of a few multicells or
    even marginal supercell structures through late afternoon may yield
    a localized severe threat, characterized primarily by gusty winds
    given steepening low-level lapse rates. However, a brief tornado or
    two may also be possible, signaled by some clockwise hodograph
    curvature in the lowest 3 km in forecast soundings later this
    afternoon. Regardless, the overall severe threat is expected to be
    short-lived and isolated, precluding watch issuance. Any severe
    threat should diminish by mid evening.
