Mesoscale Discussion 1588
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0652 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2024
Areas affected...western/central ND and far northeast MT
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 122352Z - 130145Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...In the wake of a decaying supercell, additional storm
development is expected through dusk which may consolidate into a
slow-moving cluster. Isolated severe hail and wind will remain
possible through at least mid-evening.
DISCUSSION...A lone discrete supercell produced a multi-county swath
of large hail between 1-1.75 inches in diameter for a couple hours
in northwest ND. This cell has weakened, with renewed convective
development occurring to its west along its trailing outflow near
the McKenzie/Dunn County line. This updraft will have the best
near-term potential to produce large hail and localized severe wind
gusts along the western portion of the tight buoyancy gradient.
Additional, higher-based updrafts persist across southwest ND and in
the post-frontal boundary near the northeast MT border with SK.
Recent HRRR runs remain insistent on potential for consolidating
storms and a slow-moving cluster or two evolving this evening. This
would suggest the large hail threat will be greatest through about
sunset, with localized severe gusts persisting beyond. Still, with a
relatively modest combination of deep-layer shear and large scale
forcing for ascent, confidence in greater than isolated severe
coverage remains low.
