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.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 7, 10:25 PM CDT, 4 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
1025 PM CDT MON SEP 7 2009

.UPDATE...

FRONTAL PRECIPITATION HAS FAILED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS THE
MIDDLE LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA APPEARS TO BE
MORE SHEARED THAN NECESSARY FOR BREAKING THE STRONG CAP EVIDENT IN
THE BISMARCK 00 UTC SOUNDING. SO...POPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED
ACCORDINGLY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 403 PM CDT MON SEP 7 2009/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
THE MAIN CONCERNS IN THE NEAR TERM ARE PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH
TUESDAY AND POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER/HEAVY RAIN THREAT TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY.

CURRENTLY...A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM NEAR MINOT TO
MOTT. BEHIND THE FOLD FRONT WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING INTO THE MID
20S. ALOFT...A DEEP TROUGH IS SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD OVER THE
CANADIAN PRAIRIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS. TWO PIECES OF ENERGY ARE
EVIDENT IN THAT TROUGH ON WATER VAPOR WITH ONE IN NORTHEAST MONTANA
AND THE OTHER IN CENTRAL MONTANA AND NORTHERN IDAHO.

INSTABILITY IS INCREASING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON
WITH MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES GENERALLY BETWEEN 1000 TO 2000 J/KG.
WEAK DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS IN PLACE WITH THE JET STREAM FARTHER TO THE
NORTH AND WEST. DESPITE THE RELATIVE LACK OF SHEAR...ISOLATED STRONG
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNSET...WITH ISOLATED MARGINAL SEVERE
HAIL OR A WIND GUST APPROACHING 60 MPH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE
MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION...MAINLY POST-FRONTAL AND ELEVATED...IS
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE NAM/GFS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT REGARDING THE MAIN AXIS OF THE HEAVIEST QPF...GENERALLY
FROM THE MINOT AND BOTTINEAU AREAS...SOUTHWEST THROUGH GARRISON.
STAYED NEAR HPC QPF GUIDANCE...WITH MAX AMOUNTS AROUND 1 TO 1.5
INCHES. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME ISOLATED 2 TO 3 INCH
AMOUNTS THROUGH THE EVENT...OVER AREAS AFFECTED BY SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
RAIN NEAR THE SLOW MOVING BOUNDARY. FFG VALUES ARE QUITE HIGH...AND
THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING WOULD SEEM TO BE VERY LOW.

BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THE FRONT WILL HAVE PUSHED INTO EASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. SOME SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE IN THE SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES...DEPENDING ON THE EASTWARD PUSH OF THE BOUNDARY BY PEAK
HEATING.  BY TUESDAY EVENING...THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EAST...AND
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO END OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA TUESDAY
NIGHT.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS SLOWLY
BUILDING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED AFTER A COOL DAY BEHIND THE FRONT ON TUESDAY.
DRIER AIR SLOWLY FILTERS INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT LATE
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. BY THURSDAY...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH MOISTURE
RETURN TO FUEL ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN
HALF OF NORTH DAKOTA.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
EXTENDED MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN DEVELOPING A CLOSED UPPER
LOW OVER CENTRAL/EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA FRIDAY. PER HPC...A GREATER
CONFIDENCE IS BEING PLACED IN THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE SUITE. THIS
SCENARIO CONTINUOUSLY MEANDERS THE UPPER LOW AIMLESSLY OVER THE
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS THROUGH MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK. BOTTOM LINE IS
EXPECT AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER. HOWEVER THE
PLACEMENT OF SHOWERS STILL UNCERTAIN UNTIL THE LOCATION/MOVEMENT OF
THE UPPER LOW SHOWS BETTER CONSISTENCY BEYOND FRIDAY. THUS FOLLOWED
HPC CLOSELY ON THIS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S AND OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE 40S. A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS WILL
COVER THE CWA FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

AVIATION...
A COLD FRONT NOW APPROACHING CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WILL STALL OUT
TONIGHT AND THEN MOVE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH TUESDAY. THE COLD FRONT
HAS ALREADY MOVED THROUGH KISN AND KDIK...BUT IT IS STILL WEST OF
KMOT/KBIS/KJMS AS OF 20Z. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT AS UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES TRANSLATE THROUGH THE AREA. SOME STORMS WILL PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINFALL AND MAY REDUCE CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES TO MVFR
STATUS. THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DECREASE FROM
WEST TO EAST TUESDAY.
