    Mesoscale Discussion 1019
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0116 PM CDT Sun Jul 08 2018

    Areas affected...Parts of southeastern North Dakota and adjacent
    portions of South Dakota into northwest Minnesota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 081816Z - 082045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Ongoing thunderstorm development across parts of central
    North Dakota is expected to persist, with an eventual more rapid intensification possible while spreading into Minnesota by the 3-5
    PM CDT time frame. This may be followed by additional thunderstorm
    development southwestward across southeastern North Dakota. Timing
    remains a bit uncertain, but it seems probable that a severe weather
    watch will be needed by late afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Some increase in convective development appears
    underway across portions of central North Dakota (roughly to the
    north of a Bismarck/Jamestown line). This is currently within a
    narrow band, likely associated with a zone of enhanced lower/mid
    tropospheric warm advection, near the nose of a plume of very warm
    elevated mixed-layer air emanating from the Great Basin. Models
    suggest that this forcing will gradually shift eastward through
    areas near/east of Bemidji MN between now and 20-22Z, before the
    elevated mixed-layer plume becomes suppressed southward in the wake
    of stronger mid-level height falls spreading into northwestern
    Ontario.

    The latest Rapid Refresh suggests that inhibition for moist
    pre-frontal boundary layer air is beginning to diminish along this
    corridor. As this weakens further with continuing insolation, there
    appears potential for this initially elevated convection to become
    rooted in the boundary layer. As this occurs, coincident with
    boundary layer parcels becoming characterized by CAPE in excess of
    2500-3000 J/k, a more rapid intensification likely will ensue.
    Beneath 40-50 kt westerly 500 mb flow, this may include the
    evolution of supercell structures posing a risk for severe hail and
    perhaps an isolated tornado, before the risk for strong surface
    gusts becomes more prominent.

    Thereafter, in the wake of this initial activity, additional
    thunderstorm development may occur west/southwestward along the
    pre-frontal surface trough across southeastern North Dakota into
    adjacent portions of South Dakota by 22Z.
