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 Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 20, 9:35 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
935 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 915 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

Round one of strong to severe thunderstorms has cleared the area
to the east with the next round moving northeast from central SD
into the southern valley and west central MN with increasing LLJ
and still 1000J/kg of MUCAPE to fuel the complex. CAMs continue to
push the activity through the region by 2AM.

Heat headlines have all been cancelled also.

UPDATE Issued at 655 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

Strong to severe thunderstorms continue to spread to the
northeast with the strongest one in the Fargo Moorhead area.
Expecting this storm to grow more linear southward and continue
to produce wind gusts in excess of 70mph in the favorable wind
gust with DCAPE around 1000J/kg. Attention turns to the
possibility of a second round of convection possibly severe
moving northeast from central SD.

Also trimmed the northern portions of the heat headlines and will
continues to as rain cooled air pushes south this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

Severe storm threat the main challenge as highlighted by the SPC
outlook and mesoscale discussions. To summarize SPC, we now have a
better idea of what is possible this afternoon into the early
morning hours. Appears to be 2 rounds of severe storm potential.
Satellite and radar indicate the boundary of concern for the first
round across SE ND into NW MN. As forcing from an upper wave
approaching from South Dakota overrides this boundary, anticipate
storms to initiate. This area will be in a favorable zone of
instability (MLCAPE 3000-4000 J/KG) and effective layer shear
(40-50 knots) for organized storms. Effective SRH is weaker so not
sure about supercell potential, but anticipate at least a
multicell severe storm threat will severe hail, wind, tornadoes,
and flash flooding all possible. Storm motion anticipated to be
parallel to the boundary, so anticipate linear mode/cold pool
development with some sort of complex into NW MN becoming mainly a
wind threat. The next round will be associated with a stronger
upper wave/upper jet that will arrive after 03z or so. This would
bring the potential for some sort of convective complex with 80+
mph winds the main threat, likely where instability remains after
the first round of severe (SE ND into WC MN).

Upper low propagates north of the region tomorrow, which should
limit any impacts across our region. Will be windy and will need
to consider wind advisory, plus any showers or potential
convection across NE ND and NW MN.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

The extended forecast period looks to offer opportunities for
several types of impactful weather, ranging from strong to severe
tstms to another round of extreme heat.

Wed will feature nothing but a (near) windless summer day with high
temps near seasonal values from the upper 70s to mid 80s, before a
series of troughs badgers the region with chances for tstms during
the period from Thu through Sat. Main upper trough would look to be
east of the area by Sun.

Looking at temps, upper ridging is expected to redevelop in the
Southern Plains, and likely develop its crest into the Northern
Plains, but not nearly as amplified as the current upper ridge over
the region. This is well reflected by the clustered guidance
solutions. A dome of warmth underneath this ridge should reach into
the Northern Plains by Thu/Fri, likely reintroducing temps into the
90s. This is illustrated by NBM's 70 to 80% chance of at least 90F
within the RRV, at least for Thu. It remains unclear at this time
the magnitude of the moisture that will come with this heat, and
will likely drive potential impacts assoc with this heat.

By late weekend into early next week, northwest flow will become
established over the region, leading to mainly dry weather and near
seasonable temps.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
