    Mesoscale Discussion 0608

    Areas affected...Much of North Dakota...western into central South
    Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 011913Z - 012115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storms are expected to develop and become more
    widespread with time. One or two WW issuances will likely be needed
    later this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A cumulus field is becoming increasingly agitated
    across western North Dakota/South Dakota, and a few thunderstorms
    have also initiated across northwestern North Dakota and vicinity.
    Convective trends should continue to increase across the region in
    response from an 1) approaching, mid-level shortwave trough over Montana/Wyoming, 2) weak convective inhibition, and 3) moderate to
    strongly unstable thermodynamic profiles (i.e., MUCAPE values
    ranging from around 1500 J/kg in central North Dakota to 4000+ J/kg
    in western South Dakota. Backed surface wind fields along and north
    of an east-west-oriented warm front was also contributing to
    enhanced low-level shear especially across North Dakota, and initial surface-based development in this area will likely have some tornado
    potential.

    With time the magnitude of forcing and rapidly weakening inhibition
    will result in widespread convective development, with mixed
    linear/cellular modes and upscale growth possible with eastward
    extent. All modes of severe are likely with this scenario,
    including tornadoes (especially across North Dakota) and very large
    (2"+ diameter) hail (areawide). Pending evolution of convective
    trends, one or more WWs will likely be issued before 21Z.
