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 Jun 24, 6:31 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 6:31 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
631 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 628 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

GIVEN RADAR TRENDS THROUGH 2330 UTC...AND A CONSENSUS OF THE 20-22
UTC HRRR ITERATIONS AND 18 UTC NAM/GFS...DECREASED POPS
SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THIS UPDATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT. ALSO...WITH MINIMAL TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT
SPREADS EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH CALM WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES...ADDED A
MENTION OF FOG INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)

ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

THE MAIN FORECAST FOCUS HAS SHIFTED TO PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL
TOMORROW.

QUASI ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO DIRECT A SERIES OF MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVES INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE NEAR TERM.

THE 12 UTC MODEL CYCLE GREATLY DOWNPLAYS THE POTENTIAL FOR
ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION TO FIRE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE NEXT MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE...CURRENTLY NEAR THE IDAHO PANHANDLE...MOVES INTO
THE DAKOTAS. IN FACT...THE 12 UTC NAM/GEM REGIONAL ARE THE TWO
MOST INSISTENT THAT CONVECTION WILL FIRE...AND THEY DO NOT
INITIATE UNTIL AFTER NOON TOMORROW. CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL NEED TO
BE MONITORED CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS TO ADJUST THE
BROADBRUSHED PRECIPITATION CHANCES CURRENTLY IN THE FORECAST FROM
MIDNIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

FINALLY...IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT EVEN WITH HIGH UNCERTAINTY...THERE
IS AVERAGE CONFIDENCE THAT STORMS WILL NOT BE SEVERE.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

MAIN HIGHLIGHT IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE
DIMINISHING CONVECTIVE CHANCES INTO THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH A NICE
WARMING TREND.

WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THURSDAY NIGHT TRANSITIONS TO MODERATE
NORTHWESTERLY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD AS AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AMPLIFIES AND BUILDS EAST INTO THE ROCKIES. THURSDAY
EVENING CONTINUES TO SEE MODEST SHEAR/INSTABILITY OVER THE
SOUTHWEST WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR NEAR 40KTS AND CAPE VALUES ~1-1.5
KJ/KG. THIS WILL BRING A MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT THAT SHOULD BE
OVER BY SUNDOWN AND THE MAJORITY OF ACTIVITY REMAINING TO OUR
SOUTH.

THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BRING WAA INTO THE
REGION...ALLOWING DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 80S TO LOWER 90S OVER THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

CANNOT DISCOUNT THUNDERSTORMS ENTIRELY THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK
AS ANY RIDGE RIDER WAVE/EMBEDDED IMPULSE COULD BRING A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/STORMS ANY GIVEN DAY. OVERALL PATTERN SUGGESTS
ISOLATED/LOW CHANCES.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 628 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

ANY REMAINING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING WILL BEGIN TO FADE WITH SUNSET. FOG IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...HOWEVER...THE IMPACTS TO ANY
ONE TERMINAL REMAIN SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. FOR NOW...INTRODUCED MVFR
VISIBILITIES TO MOST TERMINALS AFTER 08 UTC.
