.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 238 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

...Synopsis...

An active weather pattern will continue this week as the H5 ridge
axis flattens and moves slowly to the east. A cut off low remains in
place in eastern Montana this afternoon, but will be drifting slowly
to the northeast tonight into Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be a
source of showers and thunderstorms over the next several days
before merging with the H5 flow and moving eastward late this week.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected both Tuesday and
Wednesday, with impact areas depending on the progression of the
aforementioned upper low and the associated shortwaves. Moving into
Thursday and Friday, isolated to scattered thunderstorms remain in
the forecast, mainly across the southern portions of the CWA. Timing
remains quite uncertain, however, especially Friday onward into the
weekend. At this time, there are low chances for showers and storms
on Saturday, with a return to potentially strong storms heading into
Sunday and Monday.

...Severe Thunderstorm Chances Tuesday...

An axis of instability will be in place Tuesday across central North
Dakota. As this axis moves east, thunderstorms are expected to
develop starting during the early afternoon, then move slowly
eastward through late evening. Model soundings have been
consistently showing strong low and mid level lapse rates, as well
as MLCAPE in the 2000-2500 J/Kg range. Low and mid level shear,
however, will be tied closely to the axis of instability. As storms
form and move to the east, they will be moving into an environment
with much lower shear and instability, thus potentially limiting the
eastward extent of severe thunderstorms. Several scenarios are
possible, which will be strongly dependent on where the boundary
sets up during the afternoon. Currently, the best chances exist
across the Devils Lake Basin and areas to the south and west. Storm
mode currently favors supercells and/or hybrid clusters, with all
hazards possible.

...Severe Thunderstorm Chances Wednesday...

Heading into Wednesday, the H5 upper low moves slightly further to
the east, thus bringing our axis of instability further into eastern
North Dakota. Where it ends up will depend on a number of factors;
however, there will be another boundary pushing to the southeast
later Wednesday afternoon. This will serve to provide additional
lift and forcing, further supporting thunderstorm development during
the afternoon and evening. Initiation timing is also a bit uncertain
at this time, mainly because there could be remnant showers ongoing
during the morning hours and limiting daytime heating. The
environment will be supportive of severe storms as MLCAPE climbs to
near 2000 J/Kg and lapse rates remain strong. Low to mid level shear
will be located close to the boundary once more; however, better
forcing is expected as the reinforcing boundary pushes to the
southeast during the afternoon and evening. Current storm mode
favors hybrid clusters, followed by the potential for upscale growth
into line segments and/or QLCS. Once more, soundings support all
hazards.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1232 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

VFR conditions currently and for the next several hours, as
convection has already started to develop between KDVL and KGFK.
Cells are pretty isolated so far and not expected to impact the
airports yet. Additional showers and thunderstorms will move
into the KDVL area later this evening and possibly KGFK by late
evening to the early morning hours. Less certain how far south
and east to go as the convection weakens, but have some prob30
for showers at KFAR and KTVF late tonight into tomorrow morning.
Some of the models bring in some MVFR ceilings behind the
convection, but only certain enough for KDVL to include in the
TAFs at this point. Winds may be impacted by convection, turning
to the west or even northwest for a time in northeastern ND, but
will return to southeasterly. Gusts should remain below 25 kts
except near thunderstorms.
