   ...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
   a.m. CDT.

   ...Long Island...Connecticut...and Vicinity...
   00Z surface and ship observations and GOES IR imagery indicate that
   a warm front is located from just off of the Mid-Atlantic coast
   northeastward to around 50 mi offshore of Long Island as of 0030Z. A
   strong low-level jet (noted in area VWPs) will allow this warm front
   to move northward into Long Island/Connecticut and adjacent portions
   of southern New England late tonight. While midlevel lapse rates are
   very weak, sufficient buoyancy may allow a few thunderstorms to
   develop in the vicinity of the front, with strong low-level
   flow/shear supporting a conditional risk of locally damaging wind or
   perhaps a brief tornado with the strongest cells. 

   ...Northern North Dakota...
   Steep midlevel lapse rates (noted in 00Z soundings from
   BIS/ABR/LBF/UNR) and increasing moisture in the 1-3 km AGL layer
   will support the development of moderate elevated instability across
   ND later tonight. With relatively limited large-scale ascent across
   the region (aside from some low-level warm advection), it remains
   unclear if any elevated thunderstorms will develop south of the
   international border, but sufficient effective shear will support a
   conditional hail risk with any deep convection.
