FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND NORTHWEST MINNESOTA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EASTERN ND/GRAND FORKS ND
955 AM CDT TUE JUN 25 2002

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE AFTERNOON UPDATE IS CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. WELL
DEFINED CIRCULATION ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY NOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL
ND. 00Z/06Z MODELS BOTH TRACK THIS FEATURE THRU THE FA TODAY...BUT
AVN IS FASTER. AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE THE SLOWER ETA TIMING MAY
BE BETTER. 12Z ETA PAINTS A MUCH DIFFERENT PICTURE THAN THE 00Z
RUN...WITH HIGHER CAPE AND BETTER INSTABILITY NOW PUSHED A BIT
FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST. EVEN SO THUNDER CHANCES STILL LOOK GOOD FOR
THE FA THIS AFTERNOON. DECENT WAVE AND UPPER LEVEL JET DYNAMICS ON
TOP OF JUICY LOW LEVEL AIR. SFC MAP DOES SHOW SEVERAL BOUNDARIES AT
14Z...ONE EXTENDS FROM THE LOW IN ONTARIO INTO NORTH CENTRAL SD AND
THE OTHER ALONG THE INTL BORDER. KMVX 88D SHOWING A FEW RETURNS OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL ND ALONG THE JET AXIS AND THESE ARE PRODUCING SOME
LIGHTNING STRIKES. THICKNESS DIFLUENCE AND HIGHEST PRECIPITABLE
WATER REMAINS OVER EASTERN MN TODAY...SO BELIEVE TSTORMS WILL BE
PROGRESSIVE WITH BEST CHANCE STILL EAST OF THE VALLEY. THIS COVERED
WELL IN INHERITED ZONES...SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES NEEDED.

.FGF...NONE.
