...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated hail is possible across central North Dakota. No severe
thunderstorms are expected elsewhere.
...01Z Outlook Update...
As discussed in MCD 1433, isolated hail is possible within the
strong thunderstorms west of BIS in ND. These storms formed in a
spatial limited area of moderate instability along the surface
trough and the general expectation is for them to persist for the
next hour or two before dissipating. A small 5% hail area was added
to this outlook to account for the isolated severe risk these storms
may pose for the next few hours.
Additionally, probabilities were removed across the Northeast, where
the outflow has now moved offshore and the general thunder line was
modified based on recent observational trends and the latest
guidance. A few strong gusts were observed across MD but recent
radar trends suggest this activity has now weakened.
