Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 203...
Valid 222320Z - 230115Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 203
continues.
SUMMARY...A tornado threat will continue near the Red River over the
next couple of hours.
DISCUSSION...A right-moving supercell is ongoing near the Red River
which located close to a maximum in instability. A pocket of strong
instability is analyzed by the RAP near and to the south of the Red
River with MLCAPE in the 4500 to 5000 J/kg range. The WSR 88D-VWP at
Frederick shows veering winds with height in the lowest 2 km AGL
with 0-6 km shear near 45 kt. As low-level winds increase over the
next couple of hours, the tornado threat will likely increase
locally. The greatest threat will exist with the right-moving
supercell as it tracks just to the south of the Red River.
