AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF EASTERN MT INTO SOUTHWEST ND/NORTHWEST SD
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 522...523...
VALID 180441Z - 180615Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 522, 523
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...AN ISOLATED SEVERE WIND/HAIL THREAT MAY PERSIST INTO LATE
TONIGHT.
DISCUSSION...EARLIER SUPERCELLS HAVE WEAKENED ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL MT
LATE THIS EVENING, BUT OTHER STRONG CELLS ARE APPROACHING SOUTHEAST
MT. WHILE CINH IS GRADUALLY INCREASING ACROSS THE REGION, MUCAPE
APPROACHING 1000 J/KG AND STRONG DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT SOME ORGANIZED CONVECTION LATE TONIGHT, ACCOMPANIED BY A
THREAT FOR ISOLATED SEVERE WIND AND HAIL.
ONGOING CONVECTION MAY EVENTUALLY APPROACH PARTS OF SOUTHWEST ND AND
NORTHWEST SD INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. EVEN IF THE ONGOING
STORMS CONTINUE TO WEAKEN, REDEVELOPMENT OF ELEVATED CONVECTION WILL
BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PARTS OF THE DAKOTAS WITHIN A LOW-LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION REGIME. THE NEED FOR DOWNSTREAM WATCH ISSUANCE IS VERY
UNCERTAIN, DUE TO THE WEAKENING TREND WITH ONGOING STORMS, AND
POTENTIALLY LIMITED SEVERE COVERAGE WITH THE LATER ELEVATED
CONVECTION. TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR ANY UPTICK IN
STORM ORGANIZATION AND INTENSITY.
