    Areas affected...southeast North Dakota...north-central and
    northeast South Dakota...and western Minnesota

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 258...

    Valid 031201Z - 031400Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 258
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Well-organized cluster of thunderstorms will continue to
    move east through the morning. Strong, gusty winds will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...A well-organized mesoscale convective system (MCS) with leading-edge bow is quickly moving across southern North Dakota.
    Radar imagery over the last 1-2 hours indicated the development of a rear-inflow jet, which aided the threat for damaging winds. Latest
    radar imagery suggests an overall weakening of the reflectivity
    signature on the apex of the bow, with the highest reflectivity now concentrated along the southern (and trailing) edge of the box apex.
    Despite the weakening reflectivity appearance, a damaging-wind
    threat may continue along the leading edge of the bow for another
    couple of hours.

    The overall background environment remains unchanged from earlier
    this morning. Deep-layer shear remains in excess of 40 knots and an
    available reservoir of most-unstable CAPE between 2000-3000 J/kg
    exists to the south of the track of the MCS. Given the expectation
    that the low-level jet will continue to aid ascent along and ahead
    of the MCS -- before it weakens and veers later this morning -- a
    severe threat may continue farther east than Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch #258 and either a local extension in time/space or a new watch
    may become necessary later this morning.
