THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 624, 625
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE SEVERE THREAT MAY SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD INTO LATE
EVENING.
DISCUSSION...A SMALL CLUSTER OF STORMS HAS RECENTLY BECOME SOMEWHAT
BETTER ORGANIZED SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF JAMESTOWN, ND, WITH A RECENT
GUST OF 77 MPH OBSERVED IN MCINTOSH COUNTY. THE 00Z ABR SOUNDING
DEPICTED SUBSTANTIAL CINH FOR SURFACE-BASED PARCELS, THOUGH
CONSIDERABLY WEAKER CINH AND STRONG BUOYANCY FOR PARCELS ROOTED
AROUND 850 MB. THIS THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE WITHIN A MODEST
WARM-ADVECTION REGIME MAY ALLOW FOR PERSISTENCE OF THE ONGOING
CLUSTER INTO LATE EVENING AS IT MOVES SOUTHEASTWARD, ASSUMING THE
COLD POOL REMAINS SUFFICIENTLY STRONG.
SEVERE GUSTS (POTENTIALLY NEAR/ABOVE 75 MPH) WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
WITH THIS CLUSTER AS IT MOVES INTO NORTHEAST SD, WHILE ISOLATED HAIL
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST EMBEDDED CELLS. WW 624 HAS
BEEN EXPANDED IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS THREAT.
