    URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    Number 551 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1120 PM CDT Sun
    Aug 4 2019
    The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
    * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Extreme northwestern
    Minnesota Parts of northern and eastern North Dakota
    * Effective this Sunday night and Monday morning from 1120 PM until
    700 AM CDT.
    * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated
    very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered
    damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
    SUMMARY...Elevated thunderstorms will likely increase in an east-west
    band and move southeastward overnight across central and eastern
    North Dakota, potentially reaching northwestern Minnesota during the
    early morning hours. The initial storms, some of which could be
    supercells, will pose a threat for large hail and damaging winds.
    The damaging wind threat could increase some with storm clustering
    overnight.
    The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
    statute miles north and south of a line from 60 miles north of
    Dickinson ND to 30 miles northeast of Fargo ND. For a complete
    depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
    (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).
    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
    REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
    favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
    Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
    weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
    warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
    tornadoes.


    AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
    2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
    few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
    30030.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BY MIDDAY
    ACROSS PARTS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST...SOUTHWESTWARD INTO PORTIONS OF
    THE MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEY BY THIS EVENING...
    ...SUMMARY... One or two organized clusters of thunderstorms may
    develop across parts of the Upper Midwest, southwestward into the
    middle Missouri Valley, posing a risk for swaths of potentially
    damaging wind gusts and hail today through tonight.
    ...Synopsis... Models indicate little general change to the
    large-scale pattern through this period.
    Subtropical ridging, centered over the Four Corners states, appears
    likely to remain prominent across much of the Intermountain West,
    Rockies and central/southern Plains. In the wake of perturbations
    migrating around the western through northern periphery of this
    circulation, there may be further drying across parts of the
    Great Basin into the Rockies, but remnant monsoonal moisture is
    still expected to support at least scattered thunderstorm activity
    across the Mogollon Rim vicinity, the higher terrain of southeastern
    Arizona, the Wasatch, and much of the Rockies.
    Downstream, a gradual progression of troughing east of the mid/lower Mississippi Valley, toward the mid/south Atlantic Coast, is expected
    to continue. Somewhat cooler air aloft associated with this feature
    probably will again support considerable diurnal thunderstorm
    activity, as it overspreads lingering seasonably high moisture
    content across much of the Southeast.
    At the same time, in higher latitudes, blocking is forecast to
    remain prominent within the westerlies, across much of the eastern
    Pacific into Gulf of Alaska, with a long fetch of northwesterly
    mid/upper flow downstream, from Alaska and the Yukon Territory
    through the central Canadian/U.S. border vicinity. A significant
    leading short wave trough within this regime is forecast to turn
    eastward across northern Ontario and the Upper Great Lakes region
    today through tonight, while another digs southeast of the Canadian
    Northwest Territories.
    A somewhat more subtle perturbation trailing the lead wave is
    currently contributing substantive (30+ meter) 500 mb height falls
    near the North Dakota/Minnesota international border area. This may
    develop southeastward through much of North Dakota into the Upper
    Midwest by daybreak. Coupled with another impulse digging around
    the northeastern periphery of the subtropical ridge, mid-level
    ridging may become suppressed as far south/west as the mid to
    lower Missouri Valley by late tonight. Associated forcing for
    ascent may contribute to considerable thunderstorm development,
    ahead of a cold front advancing southeast of the international
    border through much of the Great Lakes region, middle Mississippi
    Valley and central Plains by 12Z Tuesday. This activity appears
    likely to be accompanied by the primary risk for severe weather.
    ...North central Plains/Mid Missouri Valley/Upper Midwest...
    Mid/upper forcing for ascent is contributing to increasing
    thunderstorm activity across North Dakota, which may continue to grow
    upscale and organize while developing southeastward into stronger
    instability across southern/eastern North Dakota through daybreak.
    Due to sizable spread in model output, the extent of continuing
    severe weather potential near and beyond 12Z this morning remains
    unclear, as activity progresses toward the Upper Midwest, beneath
    sheared northwesterly mid/upper flow.
    Regardless of whether activity maintains intensity or weakens,
    models generally indicate that a moistening boundary layer ahead
    of the cold pool will become characterized by moderate to large
    CAPE (2000-3000 J/kg) by early this afternoon across parts of the
    Upper Midwest into the middle Missouri Valley. Aided by mid/upper
    support, moderate to strong shear and inflow of increasingly unstable
    air, substantive intensification of convection appears possible
    across parts of southeastern Minnesota into Wisconsin by midday.
    Thereafter, a southwestward propagation or redevelopment of vigorous
    and upscale growing convection into the mid Missouri Valley is
    expected through this afternoon and evening. Although northwesterly
    deep-layer ambient mean wind fields may be modest to weak in strength
    (around or less than 20 kt), thermodynamic profiles appear favorable
    for the development of strong cold pools, which will pose a risk for potentially damaging wind gusts while tending to surge southeastward
    and southward.

    AM CDT Mon Aug 05 2019
    Valid 061200Z - 071200Z
    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS
    OF THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS...
    ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms associated with a marginal severe
    threat will be possible across parts of the central and northern
    Plains on Tuesday.
    ...Central and Northern Plains... An upper-level trough is
    forecast to move eastward across the Great Lakes region on
    Tuesday as northwest mid-level flow remains established across the north-central states. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to
    advance southeastward across the northern Plains. By late afternoon,
    the front should be located from near Rapid City, SD northeastward
    to near Fargo, ND. Ahead of the front surface dewpoints are forecast
    to range from the mid 50s F near Rapid City to the mid 60s F in
    the mid Missouri Valley. As surface heating takes place, a pocket
    of moderate instability is forecast to develop ahead of the front
    from central Nebraska into southeastern South Dakota. Isolated
    thunderstorms will be possible near the instability axis during
    the late afternoon. A few thunderstorms should also develop along
    the front further to the northwest. The instability combined with
    steep mid-level lapse rates and strong deep-layer shear (owing to
    directional shear in the low to mid-levels), should be enough for
    an isolated severe threat. Cells that move southeastward across the
    central and northern Plains may organize into short line segments
    capable of marginally severe wind gusts. A supercell also can not
    be ruled out but will be conditional upon if a storm can initiate
    in the strongest instability. Large-scale ascent will be limited
    across the region keeping development isolated. For this reason,
    a marginal risk area should be sufficient for this outlook.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 2% - Marginal Wind:
    5% - Marginal Hail: 5% - Marginal

    0109 AM CDT Mon Aug 05 2019
    Valid 051200Z - 061200Z
    ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
    ...Synopsis... High pressure located over the Desert Southwest/Four
    Corners region will remain quasi-stationary throughout the day,
    with a highly amplified/diffuse ridge present over much of the
    West. Consequently, mid-level flow is anticipated to be marginal
    at best. Despite hot/dry conditions at the surface, winds should
    remain generally light in areas of the West with receptive
    fuels. Additionally, the potential for isolated dry thunderstorms
    appears low for most areas west of the Rockies where fuels are
    receptive, and thus, no fire-weather highlights have been included
    at this time.

    Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0111 AM CDT Mon Aug 05 2019
    Valid 061200Z - 071200Z
    ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
    ...Synopsis... High pressure will remain anchored in the Desert
    Southwest/Four Corners region, along with a highly amplified/diffuse upper-level ridge extending into the upper Great Basin/Pacific
    Northwest. Consequently, surface winds should generally remain
    light over the region.
    In addition, a subtle short-wave trough should propagate through the
    crest of the upper-level ridge by early evening. This feature may
    coincide with isolated convective development over portions of the
    Pacific Northwest/upper Great Basin by mid-afternoon. However, no
    highlights have been included at this time. A north-south gradient
    in PWAT values will exist, and the most recent high-resolution
    guidance suggests convection will mostly occur in areas where PWAT
    values exceed 0.75 inches. There may exist a narrow corridor where
    convective potential overlaps PWATs near and below 0.75 inches,
    and should this become evident in forthcoming convection-allowing
    guidance, an area indicating dry/isolated thunderstorm potential
    may be needed.
