MD 0753 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHERN NORTH DAKOTA INTO FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 0753
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0456 PM CDT Sat May 11 2024
Areas affected…portions of far northern North Dakota into far
northern Minnesota
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 112156Z – 120030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…5 percent
SUMMARY…A couple of severe gusts could occur with the stronger
storm cores. The overall severe threat should remain isolated
though, and a WW issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION…High-based/low-topped convection continues to meander
along the International border, and is poised to overspread portions
of far northern ND and MN over the next few hours. Very steep
tropospheric lapse rates precede these storms, which support
adequate evaporative cooling and associated downward momentum
transport. As such, the stronger shower/thunderstorm cores could
produce a few damaging gusts (including those approaching severe
thresholds), even if only virga is present. Still, the overall
severe threat should be isolated at best, so a WW issuance is not
anticipated.
