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 Aug 9, 8:37 PM CDT, 3 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 9, 8:37 PM CDT, 3 hours 6 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
837 PM CDT TUE AUG 9 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 829 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2016

Storms continue to develop along the warm front tonight. So far
the most severe storms remain just south of the ND/SD border.
Short range models have been all over the place with the
convection tonight. However, recent runs seem to have a slightly
better grasp on what's happening across the region. Based on
current radar trends and short term models, storms are expected to
continue to develop along the ND/SD border and push east. Severe
storms are possible along the most southern tier of North Dakota
Counties, with the highest threat for substantial severe weather
just south of the border.

UPDATE Issued at 533 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2016

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for portions of
southwest North Dakota. A warm front continues to push northward
toward the ND/SD border. Conditions are growing increasingly
unstable this evening along and just north of the front. Earlier
cloud cover and thunderstorm activity continues to erode, allowing
clearing and further destabilization. As the low level jet kicks
in and edges the front northward thunderstorm activity is expected
to develop and expand over the watch area. Initial storms may be
discrete supercells and will be capable of producing all types of
severe weather. As the night goes on a consolidation of storms is
expected, with the potential for a mesoscale convective complex
to form and push eastward along the front. Hail and high winds
would be the main threat with any such system.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 232 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2016

Severe weather highlights the short term period. As has been
advertised for a few days, the timeframe for periods of severe
weather should initiate this evening and continue through
Wednesday evening. The southwest and south central remain as the
favored areas for severe weather tonight...then south central
Wednesday afternoon and evening.

Latest water vapor imagery details a slow moving closed upper low
across western Idaho. Southwest flow ahead of this system has
embedded within in it a negatively tilted 700mb trough and surface
low pressure in southeastern Montana. A warm front was draped
across northern South Dakota and is forecast to remain . The
surface low is forecast to move along the warm front through
Wednesday producing periods of thunderstorms, some severe. The
highest threat for severe weather will be along and north of the
warm front which includes southwest and south central including
the James River Valley. Various solutions on the most unstable
cape and shear across the region. Believe the main trend of the
highest threat for severe weather remains in the southwest through
portions of south central. Not to say severe weather will not
occur farther north, but there should be less of a threat. The
700mb trough will slide into southwest and south central ND this
evening, with increasing coverage for showers and thunderstorms.
The 0-6km shear and most unstable cape aligns best in the
southwest between 00z- 06z, then shifts into south central 06z-12z
Wednesday. The 0-1km storm relative helicity looks greatest in the
southwest around 03z Wednesday. The thunderstorms will continue to
progress east overnight but last through mid morning Wednesday.
Another round of severe weather should be focused in south central
ND Wednesday afternoon and evening along and ahead of the surface
low and inverted trough between Bismarck and Jamestown. Pockets of
heavier rainfall with an inch or two possible with any
thunderstorm.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 232 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2016

Severe weather threat will diminish by 06z Thursday with the upper
low slowly shifting across southern Saskatchewan and into southern
Manitoba Thursday and Friday. A compensatory northwest flow of
drier air will take control, however, a couple of weak shortwaves
embedded within the northwest flow may develop a shower or two.
Northwest flow transitions to broad ridging over the weekend for a
dry period. The next shortwave trough shifts through Monday with
another round of showers and thunderstorms followed by drier
weather Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 829 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2016

MVFR cigs and vsbys are possible with thunderstorms tonight and
tomorrow. KDIK/KBIS/KJMS are the terminals most likely to be
impacted by thunderstorms. Low stratus is possible in the wake of
storms late tonight. IFR cigs are possible beginning around 12z.
Thunderstorms are expected to continue around KJMS through much
of Wednesday.
