    Areas affected...Eastern MT...Most of ND...Far Northwest SD

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 234...235...

    Valid 282359Z - 290130Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 234, 235 continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for very large hail, strong wind gusts, and
    tornadoes continues from eastern MT across much of ND.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms developed quickly across eastern MT as
    the forcing for ascent attendant to the approaching shortwave trough encountered the warm, moist, and uncapped airmass across the area.
    Several of these storms have recently exhibited more eastward motion
    (versus northeastward), suggesting well-developed and organized
    updrafts exist. This more eastward motion will also take the storms
    into airmass even more supportive of growth and persistence, with
    surface dewpoints commonly in the 70s. Current mesoanalysis
    estimates MLCAPE is over 4000 J/kg (locally over 5000 J/kg) across
    southeast MT. Shear is also quite strong, with effective bulk shear
    over 50 kt. All of these factors suggest a continued severe threat
    with very large hail and strong wind gusts as the primary severe
    hazards. A tornado or two is also possible.

    Farther east, discrete supercell over Dunn County has recently shown
    a strengthening trend, likely a result of entering the uncapped and
    strongly unstable airmass across southwest ND. Southeasterly
    low-level winds beneath increasing westerly flow aloft is supporting
    strong deep vertical shear as well as enhanced low-level shear and
    helicity. Given the strong instability and favorable shear, the
    ongoing discrete storm will pose a risk for all severe hazards,
    including very large hail and tornadoes.
