MD 1500 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 472... FOR FAR SOUTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...AND WESTERN MINNESOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 1500 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0813 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Areas affected...far southeastern North Dakota...and western Minnesota Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 472... Valid 290113Z - 290245Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 472 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells will continue to pose a risk for hail and damaging gusts. A brief tornado is also possible. DISCUSSION...Over the last couple of hours across southern portions of WW472, several supercells have organized. The environment ahead of these storms across southeastern ND and western MN remains very favorable for strong supercells with 4000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 40 kt of bulk shear. With the supercell mode and steep mid-level lapse rates present, large hail appears to be the most likely threat with these storms. However, these storms are approaching the northwestern fringes of a warm frontal zone with stronger low-level shear. This could support a brief tornado risk into this evening. Additionally, storms should begin to grow upscale and interact with additional storms farther south across MN. This is also supported by recent CAM guidance which shows eventual MCS development. This would support a greater risk for damaging gusts later this evening across southern portions of the watch. ..Lyons.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
