   Valid 102000Z - 111200Z

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN
   ND AND OVER PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND LONG ISLAND...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A conditional risk for a brief tornado and locally damaging winds
   exists tonight in vicinity of Long Island and Connecticut. Isolated
   severe hail may occur over parts of northern North Dakota after 3 am
   CDT.

   ...Discussion...

   Earlier thoughts regarding the potential for severe remain. No
   changes are warranted to the 1630z outlook.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1127 AM CDT Mon Sep 10 2018/

   ...CT/Long Island...
   A decaying shortwave trough over southern Ontario will eject
   northeast into Quebec. At the surface, ridging from New England to
   the Mid-Atlantic States will gradually erode amid persistent warm
   advection, resulting in the warm front likely reaching the I-95
   corridor from Washington DC to New York City by evening. With
   neutral to weak mid-level height rises, storm development within the
   warm sector appears rather unlikely. However, there could be enough
   overlap of the lingering warm advection on the fringe of weak SBCAPE
   across Long Island and CT vicinity to support a few thunderstorms
   late evening/tonight. While the stronger low-level shear will
   outpace the arrival of the surface warm sector with dewpoints in the
   lower 70s, a conditional risk for a couple rotating storms exists in
   this region capable of a brief tornado and locally damaging winds.

   ...Northern ND...
   Stalled surface front from northwest MN to the NE Panhandle will
   advance north as a warm front tonight in response to lee
   cyclogenesis over southern Saskatchewan. This strengthening warm
   advection regime will generally result in elevated storm development
   north of the border in southern portions of Manitoba, but the
   trail-end of development is possible across northern ND in the early
   morning. Steep mid-level lapse rates approaching 8 C/km, around
   40-kt effective shear, and moderate elevated buoyancy will support a
   conditional risk for large hail.
