Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Bismarck Municip, ND (KBIS), launched 12:00Z, 3.8 hours before the alert went out and 208 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 22, 4:20 AM CDT, 6 hours 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
420 AM CDT SUN MAR 22 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...

A MAJOR EARLY SPRING STORM IS ON TAP FOR THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN THIS MORNING AND ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TODAY  AND TONIGHT...WITH THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW IN THE FAR
WEST TONIGHT AND IN THE CENTRAL SOMETIME ON MONDAY. TEMPERATURES IN
THE 40S...50S...AND 60S AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM SHOULD HELP TO
ACCELERATE THE SNOW MELT...WHICH WILL ADD TO FLOODING CONCERNS.
FLOOD WARNINGS...WATCHES AND ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR NEARLY ALL
OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.

IN ADDITION TO FLOODING AND ANTICIPATED PRECIPITATION...SOUTHEAST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TODAY TO 30 TO 35 MPH OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL AND EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON. WILL ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY THESE AREAS...INCLUDING BISMARCK...JAMESTOWN AND SOUTH.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION TYPE...EXPECT THAT A
COMBINATION OF DYNAMIC COOLING AND LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL
ALLOW FOR A SHIFT IN PRECIPITATION TYPE FROM RAIN TO SNOW...MOST
LIKELY BEGINNING AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE
WEST. BY MONDAY EVENING...A BROAD AREA OF RAIN/SNOW WILL BE OVER THE
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...WITH THE RAIN/SNOW LINE ORIENTED FROM MINOT
TO BISMARCK.

AMOUNTS AND LOCATION WILL BE GREATLY RELATED TO SPEED AND TRACK OF
THE STORM...ALONG WITH THE ACTUAL TIMING OF DYNAMIC COOLING. WITH
THREE MAIN AREAS OF UNCERTAINTY...THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT FORECAST.
LATEST MODELS INDICATING THAT SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHEST AROUND
HETTINGER...WITH AN AXIS OF HEAVY SNOW EXTENDING FROM NEAR HETTINGER
TO NEAR MANDAN...WITH 7 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW...WITH SOME LOCALES
REACHING NEAR 14 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA.
UNCERTAINTY IS GREATER OVER CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA DUE TO ITS
PROXIMITY TO THE FORECAST RAIN/SNOW LINE. THE JAMESTOWN AREA SHOULD
BE SPARED A CHANGEOVER UNTIL EARLY TUESDAY...SO SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD
BE LESS THERE. WINDS 20 TO 40 MPH WILL ACCOMPANY SNOWFALL WITH AREAS
OF BLOWING SNOW AND VISIBILITIES REDUCED TO ZERO AT TIMES. THE
BLIZZARD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE STATE
BEGINNING MONDAY AT DAYBREAK...AND FOR THE CENTRAL THIRD BEGINNING
MONDAY EVENING.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
THE MAJOR SPRING STORM WHICH AFFECTS THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN THE
SHORT TERM WILL BE EXITING WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING WHEN THE LONG TERM GRIDS BEGIN. GENERALLY USED
ECMWF FOR FORECAST.

SEVERAL MID LEVEL LOWS TRAVERSE THE REGION THROUGH THE EXTENDED ON
GENERALLY NORTHWEST FLOW. SCATTERED POPS WILL REMAIN FOR WEDNESDAY AS
WRAP-AROUND CONTINUES. FIRST CLOSED LOW MOVES ACROSS STATE THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY BUT QPF REMAINS WEAK AS NORTHERN PLAINS NOW CUTOFF FROM
GULF MOISTURE. WEAK ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS FROM NORTH OF LAKE
WINNIPEG SOUTH TO CENTRAL PLAINS. FEW CHANGES IN EXTENDED.

&&

.AVIATION...
STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION AHEAD OF INTENSE LOW FROM SOUTHEAST
MONTANA TO NORTHERN COLORADO. THE SYSTEM WILL AFFECT TAFS NEXT 24
HOURS AS NORTHERN PLAINS REMAIN IN WARM SECTOR WITH AREAS OF STRATUS
AND FOG...COMBINED WITH UNSTABLE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BRINGING BANDS
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

SNOW MELT AND RUNOFF CONTINUE TO GENERATE ICE JAMS AND
RISING WATER LEVELS IN MANY LOCATIONS...IN ADDITION TO COVERING
SEVERAL ROADWAYS. THE SIGNIFICANT STORM MENTIONED ABOVE WILL
AGGRAVATE THE SITUATION TREMENDOUSLY AS FIRST TWO BAND OF
PRECIPITATION IN THE FORMS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION. THE FIRST MORE INTENSE NOW EXITING NORTHEAST CWA
WHILE SECOND MORE DIFFUSE AREA CROSSES WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. THESE
TWO BANDS HAVE TRIGGERED AREAL FLOOD ADVISORIES FOR NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL RESPECTIVELY.
