AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF CENTRAL ND INTO NORTH-CENTRAL SD
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 499...
VALID 192348Z - 200145Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 499
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE RISK OF SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL WILL CONTINUE
TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS -- WITHIN
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 499.
DISCUSSION...OVER THE LAST 30 MINUTES OR SO, AN INCREASE IN
THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY AND COVERAGE HAS BEGUN, AS STORMS IMPINGE ON
A PLUME OF LOWER 70S DEWPOINTS AND AT LEAST 2000 J/KG MLCAPE PER
MODIFIED 18Z BIS SOUNDING AND THE LATEST HRRR SFCOA DATA. AS STORMS
CONTINUE SPREADING/DEVELOPING EASTWARD, INCREASING BUOYANCY WILL
SUPPORT FURTHER INTENSIFICATION OF ONGOING STORMS. THE BIS VWP IS
SAMPLING A LONG/STRAIGHT HODOGRAPH (40-50 KT OF 0-6 KM SHEAR), WHICH
WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE SPLITTING SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL. RESULTANT STORM MERGERS AND
INCREASINGLY ROBUST OUTFLOW WILL FAVOR A GRADUAL INCREASE IN BOTH
THE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SEVERE WIND GUSTS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS.
