1255 AM CDT Sat Jun 10 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1254 AM CDT Sat Jun 10 2017

Quick update for Line of Storms in west central North Dakota.

UPDATE Issued at 1206 AM CDT Sat Jun 10 2017

Scattered lines of showers and isolated thunderstorms are moving
east across the North Dakota/Montana line early this morning in a
highly sheared environment. Although instability is somewhat
limited far west it appears there is a band of cape diagnosed in
central North Dakota so expect strengthening storms as they move
east. The potential for strong straight line winds exists through
tonight.

UPDATE Issued at 829 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017

Quick update for observed trends through 01 UTC and CAM trends
through the 00 UTC HRRR iteration. Severe convection will
continue across the James River Valley for the next one to two
hours. At the same time, convection continues to increase across
southeast Montana. The 00 UTC HRRR, 21 UTC ESRL HRRR and 18 UTC
NAM NEST continue to support intensification of this convection
into southwest and south central North Dakota late tonight in a
highly sheared, strongly forced environment on the nose of a
strong (75-80kt) 500 mb jet. Damaging wind gusts from high based
and rapidly propagating storms is the primary threat, with large
hail a secondary concern.

UPDATE Issued at 519 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017

Quick update to issue severe thunderstorm watch #309 through
midnight CDT. See SPC watch discussion for details. The 21 UTC
HRRR, 18 UTC ESRL HRRR and the 18 UTC NAM NEST all support the
continued threat for a second round of severe convection in a
high shear/low CAPE environment entering from Montana between
04-06 UTC tonight and rapidly propagating east into central North
Dakota.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017

Potential for significant severe weather exists this afternoon all
the way through the overnight, with two separate regimes yielding
potential hazards.

...Severe-Risk Number One...

* Location/Timing...Along and east of Highway 83 from about 21 to 03
  UTC.

* Scenario/Technical Discussion...Strong surface pressure falls of
  3 mb/3 hours are driving gusty south winds and moisture return
  this afternoon as a lee-side pressure trough moves eastward. The
  nose of low-level warm air advection is focused near Minot as of
  19 UTC, where the trough intersects a warm front producing a
  triple point of air masses. Surface dewpoints are running a bit
  lower than expected based on earlier model guidance, and they
  have dropped from 59 to 54 F at Bismarck between 1830 and 1930
  UTC, suggesting the richer moisture is relatively shallow and is
  susceptible to reduction via mix-out. An early look at our 19
  UTC special sounding verifies earlier model expectations for a
  strongly veering wind profile with its associated deep-layer
  shear vectors oriented normal to the surface trough in favor of
  discrete supercells where convective initiation occurs. The main
  uncertainty is how many updrafts will be able to survive their
  trip to the LFC given lingering capping (also shown on our 19
  UTC sounding). CAM guidance has been exceptionally consistent in
  advertising a high probability of supercell development on the
  nose of the greater warm air advection, near the triple point,
  in the Bottineau/Rolette/Pierce County area by late afternoon.
  In that area, large low-level hodographs with 0-1-km SRH of 150
  m2/s2 support a tornado risk, tempered by MLLCL heights near
  1500 m AGL (though lingering cloud cover could keep surface
  moisture content relatively more protected from mixing in those
  areas in support of lower LCL heights). Further south, guidance
  is widely dispersive in whether isolated supercells will form in
  south central ND, so confidence is lower, but if any storms do
  become established the environment will be characterized by
  MLCAPE of 2000 J/kg and 40 kt of 0-6-km bulk wind shear. There's
  long been a signal in sounding analog retrieval system output
  for very large hail in this setting. Again, though, only a few
  storms may develop, especially south of Highway 200, with this
  first severe risk.

We greatly appreciate the research and academic groups, including
NSSL and the College of DuPage, who are providing very useful
sounding data across the area this afternoon as we determine when
and where convective initiation will take place.

...Severe-Risk Number Two...

* Location/Timing...Southwest and central North Dakota from about
  03 to 12 UTC. The threat may be highest between Interstate 94
  and Highway 2, but that area may be refined with later updates,
  with the most recent guidance suggesting the Interstate 94
  corridor may be favored.

* Scenario/Technical Discussion...Height falls aloft and an
  eastward-advancing cold frontal zone will likely generate deep,
  moist convection in southeast MT this evening with upscale
  growth and forward propagation downstream into ND overnight. It
  appears that late afternoon and early evening convection forced
  on the pre-frontal trough will not be widespread enough to
  overturn the instability axis over ND, and in fact the 12 UTC
  global suite and more recent RAP/HRRR iterations all suggest an
  enhanced elevated mixed layer pulse will surge into central ND
  in advance of the cold front, yielding very steep lapse rates of
  8.5 C/km in support of MUCAPE from 1000-2000 J/kg despite low-
  level moisture that will not be particularly rich. Strengthening
  flow aloft will yield intense vertical wind shear with effective
  bulk wind differences of 60 to 70 kt. This scenario supports an
  outcome in line with today's CAM simulations with a mix of both
  supercells and small bowing complexes racing northeast across
  the area overnight. Even if the updrafts are elevated, the very
  strong environmental flow and downshear MCS propagation vectors
  of 70+ kt support potentially destructive winds. CAM solutions
  including the large majority of the 12-17 UTC HRRR cycles have
  shown updraft helicity values of 100-150 m2/s2 with these storms
  in support of significant-severe potential. Even the 12 UTC NSSL
  WRF-ARW depicts a similar signal, and its HAILCAST output shows
  potential for golfball or larger size hail suggesting that wind-
  driven hail damage is possible. Experimental time-lagged HRRR
  convective guidance also strongly supports overnight wind and
  hail risks. The main uncertainty is coverage of this round of
  severe storms and how far south they form, but both the 12 UTC
  NSSL WRF-ARW and 17 UTC deterministic HRRR suggest that the
  Interstate 94 corridor, including Bismarck/Mandan, could be in
  the risk area. Note that this synoptic and mesoscale scenario
  does resemble the June 16-17, 2016, event enough for it to be
  considered a viable analog, but that of course does not imply
  the outcome will be identical, particularly with regard to which
  areas are impacted.

A cooler, but still warm, and breezy Saturday will follow in the
wake of tonight's cold frontal passage. Steep mid-level lapse
rates from cold advection aloft could yield a few showers north.
Low-level drying will push afternoon humidities to 20 percent in
parts of western and north central ND, but the spatio-temporal
overlap of dry air, humidities, and dry fuels does not appear
significant enough to warrant a red flag warning.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017

The main focus in the long term is on the dynamic and very strong
upper-level low expected to lift from the Great Basin northward to
Montana by Tuesday. The 12 UTC GFS and ECMWF both continue showing
the greatest wrap-around moisture accompanying this wave remaining
west of the local area in Montana. However, diffluent flow ahead
of the wave Monday and early Tuesday will favor a wave of showers
and storms lifting northward, with locally-heavy rain possible. A
risk of severe weather will exist given strong wind fields and at
least elevated instability north of a surface low that lifts
northeast across the region. Depending on how far north the warm
sector moves, surface-based storms are not out of the question.
Finally, the close proximity of the cold-core low could favor a
localized severe storm risk on Tuesday, as well.

Thereafter, cooler and mainly dry cyclonic flow is likely during
the latter parts of next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday evening) Issued
at 1220 aM CDT sat Jun 9 2017

Showers and thunderstorms developing across western North Dakota
will continue to track east and north through early Saturday
morning. Storms may intensify as they move across western and
central North Dakota late tonight, and may produce damaging winds
and large hail.
