    Mesoscale Discussion 0647

    Areas affected...south central through southeast North Dakota and
    north central through northeast South Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 052301Z - 060130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms may develop across portions of central North Dakota
    by 01-02Z. Supercells with large hail and damaging wind will be the
    initial threats, but a brief tornado may also be possible. With time
    storms are expected to evolve into an MCS with damaging wind
    becoming the main threat. A WW will probably be needed this evening,
    most likely 01-02Z.

    DISCUSSION...Early this evening a cold front extends from northeast
    through southwest ND. A warm front stretches from southwest MN into
    eastern ND where it intersects the cold front. Warm sector between
    these boundaries has become moderately unstable with 8 C/km 700-500
    mb lapse rates situated above upper 50s F low-level dewpoints
    resulting in up to 2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Warm air at the base of the
    elevated mixed layer has resulted in a capping inversion, and this
    region has been under the influence of shortwave ridging much of the
    day. However, water vapor imagery indicates a shortwave trough near
    the MT/ND border. Increasing ascent associated with this feature and
    a strengthening low-level jet should result in the development of
    storms along the cold front this evening with consensus among CAMS
    suggesting between 01 and 02Z. RAP analysis indicates a 50 kt
    mid-level jet accompanying the shortwave trough, and this will
    contribute to sufficient effective bulk shear for supercells as the
    initial storm mode with damaging wind and large hail the main
    threats. Despite higher than optimal LCL heights, a brief tornado or
    two cannot be ruled out, mainly within a small window before storms
    grow upscale.
