   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 681
   CONTINUES.
   
   THE SEVERE STORM THREAT WILL BE CONFINED TO THE IMMEDIATE
   INTERNATIONAL BORDER REGION OF EXTREME NE ND/NW MN FOR THE NEXT
   COUPLE OF HOURS.
   
   WARMING TEMPERATURES IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER ARE RESULTING IN
   INCREASING CONVECTIVE INHIBITION FROM SW TO NE ACROSS ND INTO NW MN
   EARLY THIS MORNING.  FARTHER W...A BELT OF MID LEVEL ASCENT AND WEAK
   MID LEVEL INSTABILITY IS SPREADING EWD OVER NW ND IN ASSOCIATION
   WITH THE STRONG MID LEVEL TROUGH IN MT.  HOWEVER...THIS BELT OF
   ASCENT WILL LIKELY REMAIN A LITTLE W OF THE STRONGER
   INSTABILITY...AND ADDITIONAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT S OF
   THE CANADIAN BORDER IS IN QUESTION.  THE MORE PROBABLE AREA FOR SUCH
   DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ACROSS EXTREME NW MN WHERE LOW-LEVEL WAA IS
   STRONGEST AND THE CAP HAS NOT INCREASED AS MUCH AS AREAS FARTHER TO
   THE SW.  ISOLATED LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
   POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NE PORTION OF WW 681.
