    Areas affected...eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 071955Z - 072200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado are
    possible this afternoon/evening. Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...Regional satellite/radar show convection developing
    along a cold front positioned from northeast North Dakota extending southwestward, and along a warm front extending into northeast
    Minnesota. This activity is developing in a region where skies have
    remained clear in proximity to passing cirrus clouds to the
    immediate south. In addition, cool mid-level temperatures are
    overspreading the region, in association with an upper-level trough.
    These factors are contributing to destabilization that is yielding
    MLCAPE values near 1500 J/kg. Ample effective shear of 40-45 kt is
    also present, associated with the aforementioned trough.

    Storms are expected to continue increasing in coverage and severity
    throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Large hail and
    damaging wind gusts will be the primary threats. A tornado will also
    be possible with any storm that can favorably interact with
    aforementioned warm front. Coverage of storms remains uncertain in
    the short term, given the extent of the cirrus shield limiting
    destabilization. However, at least some CAM solutions suggest
    greater coverage may materialize. Thus, convective trends will be
    monitored for possible watch issuance this afternoon/evening.
