The radar

The Aberdeen radar (KABR), 104 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:29 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Bismarck Municip, ND (KBIS), launched 12:00Z, 8.5 hours before the alert went out and 127 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, Jun 11, 1:27 PM CDT, 2 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
127 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 127 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

UPDATE TO ADD A MENTION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO
EMMONS...LOGAN...MCINTOSH...DICKEY AND LAMOURE COUNTIES THIS
AFTERNOON. THE LATEST ITERATIONS OF THE HRRR CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
ORGANIZED CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS THESE COUNTIES WITH A
BUILDING CUMULUS FIELD AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S.
THESE COUNTIES HAVE HAD THE MOST SUNSHINE AND THE LATEST RADAR
TRENDS THROUGH 1830 UTC DEPICT INCREASING SURFACE BASED CONVECTION
ACROSS FAR EASTERN SIOUX...EMMONS AND INTO LOGAN COUNTIES. IN
ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN
SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY...BACKED NORTHEAST SURFACE WINDS
NORTH OF THE SURFACE LOW RAISES THE THREAT LEVEL FOR TORNADOES.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1024 AM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY INCREASE ACROSS WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH 15 UTC. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE
FOLLOWING THE 13-14 UTC RAP/HRRR...WHICH ALSO SUGGEST GREATER
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS THE US HIGHWAY 2 CORRIDOR AND POINTS
NORTH. DO EXPECT LIGHTNING STRIKES TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT WITH
DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE FAR SOUTHERN
JAMES RIVER LATE THIS AFTERNOON FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE CONVECTION
ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH AS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 644 AM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST. AREAS OF RAIN
SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO ENTER
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE. SHOWERS ARE ALSO DEVELOPING OVER THE JAMES RIVER BASIN
WHERE A SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS STALLED FOR THE MOMENT. THE
HEAVIEST RAIN STILL APPEARS TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

ONLY ADJUSTED THE HOURLY SENSIBLE WEATHER GRIDS BASED ON CURRENT
OBS/TRENDS. THE UPDATED PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN SENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 337 AM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

CONVECTIVE AND PRECIPITATION TRENDS WILL HIGHLIGHT THE SHORT TERM
FORECAST TODAY AND TONIGHT.

CURRENTLY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER NORTHERN MANITOBA WITH A
SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE LOW SOUTHWARD ACROSS MANITOBA TO
NORTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...THEN EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARDS
JAMESTOWN/BISMARCK...AND LINKING TO ANOTHER LOW OVER THE BORDER OF
NE/WY/CO. MEANWHILE AT UPPER LEVELS...A LARGE UPPER LOW WAS OVER
NORTHERN MANITOBA WITH A BROAD TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST TO THE GREAT LAKES. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
IMPULSES/SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THIS TROUGH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAD BEEN MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS
MONTANA...WYOMING...AND THE DAKOTAS.

THE LATEST SHORT TERM MODELS DEPICT CONTINUOUS ENERGY IMPULSES
MOVING FROM MONTANA/WYOMING ACROSS THE DAKOTAS TODAY...AND EXITING
THE DAKOTAS LATER TONIGHT. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PAST FEW
MODEL RUNS...AND WILL NOT DEVIATE MUCH FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
THUS EXPECTING ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING...WITH AN INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY OF THE SHOWERS WITH TIME.

CURRENT MESOANALYSIS INDICATES ELEVATED CAPE THIS MORNING IN THE
JAMES VALLEY AREA COINCIDENT WITH THE AREA OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE. SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS OVER MONTANA MOVING EAST CORRESPONDS WELL WITH THE
FORECAST CAPE AT 180 AGL.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER EASTERN/SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THIS
MORNING IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD. BY NOON IT IS FORECAST TO
BE NEAR FARGO/WAHPETON AND COMPLETELY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE STATE BY
EVENING. ELEVATED CAPE TODAY IS FORECAST TO REACH ONLY 200-800 J/KG
WITH LIMITED BULK SHEAR. ANY SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO BE SOUTH AND
EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PUT THE FAR
SOUTHEAST PORTION OF NORTH DAKOTA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. STRONG STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY
IN THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY.

THE MAIN AXIS OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO MINNESOTA BY
DAYBREAK THURSDAY. TONIGHT WE SHOULD SEE DECREASING CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...WITH CLEARING
SKIES FROM WEST TO EAST.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 337 AM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

THURSDAY WILL BE A DRY AND PLEASANT DAY WITH SUNNY SKIES AND
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S. A FAIRLY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL
CHARACTERIZE THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED.

RETURN FLOW IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER
TROUGH ENTERING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THE INCREASING LOW-
LEVEL JET SHOULD INCREASE MOISTURE/INSTABILITY TRANSPORT OVER
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL LEAD TO
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA...WITH HIGHER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVER WESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE
UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY MEANDERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. BY
MONDAY...ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH IS PROGGED TO ENTER THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES. THIS WILL LEAD TO CONTINUING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH
TUESDAY AS THE SECOND UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 127 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014
