AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND FAR

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 485...
VALID 040428Z - 040600Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 485
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE SEVERE RISK MAY SPREAD/DEVELOP INTO PARTS OF
NORTHEASTERN ND OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS -- WITHIN SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH #485.
DISCUSSION...A CLUSTER OF STORMS THAT HAS BECOME OUTFLOW DOMINANT IN
SOUTHERN MANITOBA IS TRACKING SLOWLY EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD
NORTH-CENTRAL/NORTHEAST ND. AHEAD OF THESE STORMS, ADDITIONAL
ELEVATED CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING AT THE NOSE OF A STRENGTHENING
30-40 KT LOW-LEVEL JET. OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, THE CONVECTIVE
CLUSTER AND DOWNSTREAM DEVELOPMENT MAY MERGE AND TRACK
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF AN
INSTABILITY GRADIENT EXTENDING FROM NORTHEASTERN ND INTO
NORTHWESTERN MN. STRONG LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION ACCOMPANYING THE
LOW-LEVEL JET AND AROUND 40-50 KT OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR MAY SUPPORT A
LOOSELY ORGANIZED CLUSTER CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND
SPORADIC LARGE HAIL. OVERALL CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION REMAINS UNCERTAIN,
THOUGH A SPATIAL EXTENSION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #485 IN
NORTHEASTERN ND AND PERHAPS EXTREME NORTHWEST MN MAY BECOME
NECESSARY.
