The radar

The Aberdeen radar (KABR), 67 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:46 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 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 17, 4:10 PM CDT, 3 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 17, 4:10 PM CDT, 3 hours 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
410 PM CDT SUN JUL 17 2011

.SHORT TERM...LATE TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE ONGOING HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS AND
CHANCES FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT...SO HAVE USED A GENERAL BLEND.

CURRENTLY...LARGE SUBTROPICAL RIDGING REMAINS FIXED OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS...PUSHING WARM AND MOIST AIR WELL INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
THIS HAS RESULTED IN HEAT HEADLINES ACROSS MUCH OF THE MISSISSIPPI
AND MISSOURI RIVER VALLEYS. VERY LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN THIS
PATTERN DURING THE SHORT TERM...SO CAN EXPECT HEAT HEADLINES AGAIN
DURING THE DAY MONDAY...ESPECIALLY AS FORECAST HEAD INDICES
APPROACH 110 DEGREES.

FOR THUNDERSTORMS...MODELS HOLD A MODERATE CAPPING INVERSION IN
PLACE OVER THE AREA...DESPITE FORECAST CAPE VALUES APPROACHING 5000
J/KG IN SOME AREAS. THE CAP SHOULD KEEP DEVELOPMENT IN CHECK...BUT
WITH SUCH WARM AND MOIST INFLOW IN THE LOWER LEVELS...IT HAS TAKEN
VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MID LEVEL IMPULSES TO GET CONVECTION
STARTED...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NEARLY STATIONARY WARM FRONT THAT WAS
THE FOCUS FOR SEVERE DEVELOPMENT YESTERDAY. AS THE FRONT LIES NEARLY
ALONG THE ND/SD STATE LINE...THE CWA LIES NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY.
THEREFORE THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN COVERAGE OF STORMS. MOST
LIKELY SCENARIO IS DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTHEAST CWA...ALTHOUGH
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE NEARLY ANYWHERE WITHIN THE STATE.

OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN...BUT WILL DEPEND
GREATLY ON MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES FORMED DURING THE DAY AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LOW LEVEL JETS LATER TONIGHT. HAVE KEPT SLIGHT TO
CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE EVENING AND INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL ALSO LIKELY SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF RATHER
SUBSTANTIAL LOW LEVEL STRATUS DECKS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA...RESULTING FROM VERY MOIST LOW LEVELS AND NIGHT INDUCED
SURFACE INVERSIONS. THE DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMENT OF THESE DECKS
WILL ALSO INFLUENCE CONVECTION..AND VICE-VERSA...SO WILL NEED TO
MONITOR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EVENING TO REFINE CONVECTIVE CHANCES.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD RETURN AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...PARTICULARLY AS A WEAK FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST LATE.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER...HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN FOR
THE REST OF TODAY AND AGAIN TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES MONDAY ARE
EXPECTED TO BE WELL INTO THE 90S ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA...WITH NEAR
100 DEGREES IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST. HEAT INDICES OF NEAR 100 TO 110
ARE LIKELY.

.LONG TERM...WARMEST DAY OF THE WEAK MAY BE TUESDAY AS CLOSE TO
100 DEGREES MAY BE SEEN ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA.
SEVERAL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL PUSH INTO THE RIDGE FLATTENING IT
A BIT AND BRINGIN INCREASED CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY. THE PERIOD WILL CONTINE TO BE WARM AND HUMID.

&&

.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN DURING THE FIRST HALF OF
THE TAF PERIOD...FOLLOWED BY MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT.
KJMS SEEMS MOST LIKELY TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. MOIST LOW LEVELS WILL THEN LEAD TO INVERSION STRATUS
DECKS OVERNIGHT...WHICH COULD DROP TO BELOW 500 FT AND HINDER
VISIBILITY AS WELL. SKIES SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY RETURN TO VFR
AFTER SUNRISE.

&&

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING UNTIL 10 PM CDT /9 PM MDT/ TUESDAY FOR
NDZ011>013-019>023-025-034>037-042-045>048-050-051.
