    Mesoscale Discussion 1443
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0921 PM CDT Wed Sep 12 2018

    Areas affected...Much of central North Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 130221Z - 130445Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A flourish of elevated storms is expected after 04Z, with
    a few storms producing large hail. However, the severe threat is
    expected to be relatively brief.

    DISCUSSION...A surface warm front currently extends from northwest
    SD across southern and eastern ND, with VWPs indicating strong warm
    air advection in the low-levels. Currently, the air mass remains
    capped, except for near the 850 mb warm front which extends from
    northern ND into Canada.

    Over the next few hours, a cold front is forecast to develop into
    the western Dakotas which will help to focus lift. Lapse rates aloft
    are quite steep, and will favor fast development of scattered
    elevated storms mainly after 04Z. Large hail will be possible with a
    few of the storms, especially early in the event before storms
    possibly interfere with each other. Increasing mid to upper level
    winds/long hodographs will also favor hail in some of the cells. The
    threat should remain relatively confined to the central ND region
    along the front, and may spread northeast toward southern MB. Given
    strong capping east of the developing cold front, the zone of hail
    potential is expected to be narrow, with little eastward
    progression. Given the small area and expected brief nature of the
    threat, a watch is unlikely.
