Severe Thunderstorm Warning 105, NWS Bismarck, ND

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
733 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 719 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

No significant changes to the going forecast. Previous forecast
had a good handle on current pops. Broken line of severe storms
continues to move east into central ND. Thinking is severe
convection will continue for the next few hours, As we lose
heating and move east, confidence decreases in severe potential,
especially south central where greater capping exists. CAMS
suggest that northern portion of the line may hold together as it
moves east of the watch. Updated products will be sent shortly.

UPDATE Issued at 548 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

Cold front aligned from Estevan to Tioga, and from Watford City to
Bowman. Discrete cells continue to evolve with heavy rainfall.
Hail and wind thus far have been below severe levels. Severe
thunderstorm watch continues until 10PM CDT Tuesday. Current
forecast is on track.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 341 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

The main concern this period is the potential for scattered strong
to severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and evening.

Current water vapor imagery shows an upper-level disturbance
moving from northeast Montana into southeast Saskatchewan. An
attendant surface cold front was located from near Mohall, ND to
Glendive, MT. Expected scattered thunderstorms to develop along
the front through 22z this afternoon and propagate eastward this
evening. Latest mesoanalysis indicates 2000-3000 J/kg SBCAPE and
20-40 kt effective bulk shear. This will be sufficient for a few
severe storms through the evening, with large hail and damaging
winds. High pressure will build in behind the front for Wednesday.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 341 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018

The main concern this forecast period is the potential for
significant severe weather Thursday and Thursday night.

A favorable setup for severe thunderstorms will develop on
Thursday as a strong shortwave trough ejects off the Northern
Rockies. Strong diurnal heating combined with mid to upper 60s
dewpoints will yield CAPE exceeding 3000 J/kg. Increasing shear
with height (exceeding 50 kt in the 0-6 km layer) will be
supportive of supercells capable of very large hail, damaging
winds, and possibly a few tornadoes. There is still uncertainty on
the location of storm development. Current model guidance
suggests there may be some elevated convection along the warm
front Thursday morning, with afternoon development favored
generally from north central ND into southeast MT. Storms should
grow upscale into an MCS Thursday evening with a potentially
significant damaging wind threat. Very heavy rainfall will be
possible from any storm on Thursday, but the expected quick storm
motion may preclude any flash flooding threat.

An active pattern will continue through the weekend into early
next week, with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms
possible. It is too early at this time to discern any severe
threat beyond Thursday night. Models then hint at a strong upper-
level ridge building over the central CONUS by mid week.

for MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities. Aterward mainly VFR
conditions are expected.
