CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA HAS BEEN CAPPED THIS AFTERNOON BUT THE CAP

NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WHERE THE CAP IS WEAK...NORTH OF A WARM
FRONT FROM BISMARCK TO GRAND FORKS.  THE STORMS HAVE MOVED RAPIDLY
NORTHEAST.  A SURFACE LOW IN SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA WILL MOVE

AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE DEVELOPING AT MID LEVELS.
