The radar

The Aberdeen radar (KABR), 114 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 01:37 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jul 10, 3:45 PM CDT, 4 hours 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 3:45 PM CDT, 4 hours 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
345 PM CDT THU JUL 10 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...

THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM TODAY WILL BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT
AND THEN WINDS FRIDAY.

CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS WARM FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. VERY HIGH DEW POINTS ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. LATEST
SATELLITE LOOP DEPICTS TOWERING CU DEVELOPMENT ALONG A DRY LINE
SEPARATING DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S FROM DIK TO BOWMAN...FROM MID TO
UPPER 30S IN SOUTHEAST MONTANA. 17Z KBIS SOUNDING REVEALS THAT
CONTINUED DIABATIC HEATING IS NECESSARY TO ERODE THE CAP WITHIN THE
WARM SECTOR WITH A CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE MID 90S. ONCE
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE REACHED...WITH THE AID OF CONVERGENCE
AND FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ALONG THE DRY LINE AND WARM
FRONT....CONVECTION SHOULD INITIATE WITH ML CAPE VALES AOA 1500-2000
J/KG WITH LI VALUES OF -6 TO -8 C. WITH EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR
VALUES OF 50-60 KTS ORIENTED PERPENDICULAR TO THE DRY LINE WITH 8C
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...RAPID DISCRETE SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE ALONG THE DRYLINE...WITH EAST SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATING
MULTI CELL CLUSTERS AND LINE SEGMENTS ALONG THE WARM FRONT WHERE
SHEAR VECTORS ARE ORIENTED MUCH MORE PARALLEL TO THE BOUNDARY. WITH
DOWNDRAFT CAPE VALUES OF AOA 1500 J/KG WITH INVERTED V-SOUNDINGS
EXPECTED IN THE WARM SECTOR AND ALONG THE DRY LINE WITH LCLS AROUND
10-12 KFT...SEVERE WIND GUSTS APPEAR TO BE A PRIMARY THREAT WITH
EXCELLENT EVAPORATION POTENTIAL. FURTHERMORE...400-600 J/KG OF CAPE
IN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE FROM -10 TO -30C WITH STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES AND ROTATING UPDRAFTS ALSO POINT TO A LARGE HAIL THREAT AIDED
BY A MID LEVEL DRY LAYER. 17Z UNIDIRECTIONAL HODOGRAPH AT KBIS
POINTS TO SPLITTING SUPERCELLS IN THE WARM SECTOR AND ALONG THE
DRYLINE WITH THE RIGHT MOVING STORM FAVORED DUE TO THE ORIENTATION
OF THE INSTABILITY AXIS. FURTHER EAST IN THE VICINITY OF THE WARM
FRONT...BACKED WINDS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY HAVE YIELDED 0-3 KM
HELICITY VALUES OF NEAR 200 M2/S2. WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
EXPECTED WITH NEAR 20 KTS OF 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR ALONG THE SOUTHERN
EXTENT OF THE FRONT...TORNADOES WILL BE A POSSIBILITY AS STORM
RELATIVE FLOW POINTS TO STORMS RAINING INTO THEIR INFLOW. MAIN
CONCERN WITH TORNADO THREAT IS THE HIGH LCL HEIGHT NEAR THE WARM
FRONT...WHICH IS LOWER THAN THAT SEEN ALONG THE DRYLINE. IF A
SUPERCELL CAN ADEQUATELY MODIFY ITS ENVIRONMENT...LOWERING THE
LCL...TORNADO PROBABILITY WILL BE INCREASED ALONG THE WARM FRONT.

THE PROBLEM ON FRIDAY WILL BE WINDS. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS
THE REGION FRIDAY...SURFACE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY.
THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE UPPER TROUGH...CLOSE ON ITS HEELS. THE
COMBINATION OF THE STRONG SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER
TROUGH...COMBINED WITH THE STRONG GRADIENT WINDS WILL PRODUCE WINDY
TO VERY WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA ON FRIDAY. A LOOK AT
BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE 40-55 KNOTS OF WIND AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED
LAYER AVAILABLE TO MIX DOWN...MAINLY OVER SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA. HAVE DECIDED TO HOIST A HIGH WIND WATCH TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS...AREA WILL BE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY. IN
ADDITION TO THE RED FLAG WARNING...BECAUSE OF THE STRONG WINDS WE
HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR FRIDAY AS WELL.
NORMALLY JULY IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO FIRE WEATHER ISSUES BUT FIRE
OFFICIALS HAVE INDICATED THAT THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT OF DRYING
OUT OF THE GRASSLANDS RECENTLY. COMBINE THIS WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF
30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH...FEEL A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS
JUSTIFIED. FARTHER NORTH...ENOUGH COLD AIR ALOFT BEHIND THE UPPER
TROUGH TO MENTION SOME THUNDERSTORMS. BEST CHANCE WILL BE ALONG THE
CANADIAN BORDER.

THINGS QUIET DOWN BEYOND FRIDAY. IT WILL STILL BE WINDY ON
SATURDAY...WILL PROBABLY SEE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA SOME AREAS...BUT
APPEARS NOW THAT WINDS WILL BE BELOW WARNING CRITERIA. DO EXPECT
SOME SHOWER/THUNDERSHOWER ACTIVITY IN THE FAR NORTHEAST CWA. SUNDAY
APPEARS PLEASANT WITH MUCH LESS WIND EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
SOMEWHAT OF AN ACTIVE PATTERN DEPICTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
REGION THROUGH THE EXTENDED WITH PERIODIC SHORT WAVE TROUGHS IN
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT MOVING ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. DIFFICULT TO TIME
THESE FEATURES SO HAVE TRIED TO MINIMIZE CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM
FORECAST. OVERALL WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCES OF PRECIP MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...THEN CONTINUED DRY FOR NOW THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE NEAR NORMAL OVERALL...WITH THE WARMEST DAYS LOOKING TO BE MONDAY
AND TUESDAY THEN A BIT COOLER WED AND THURS.

&&

.AVIATION...
A SURFACE FRONT WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...WITH THUNDERSTORMS LOOKING TO DEVELOP
AND INCREASE IN AERIAL COVERAGE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS WEST TO EAST. SOME OF THESE
STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH LOCALLY STRONG WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL. FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MVFR-IFR WITHIN THE HEAVIER
TSRA.

ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA LATER
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING DAYTIME...BRINGING WITH IT ANOTHER
ROUND OF THUNDER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY. BEHIND THIS FRONT STRONG WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 25 TO AROUND
30 KNOTS AND GUSTS UP TO 45 TO 50 KNOTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SEE MAIN DISCUSSION ABOVE...BUT DUE MAINLY TO THE
VERY STRONG WINDS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY...HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A
FIRE WEATHER WATCH.

&&

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
HIGH WIND WATCH FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING FOR
NDZ017>020-031>034-040>045.

FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING
FOR NDZ031>033-040>045.
