Areas affected...northeast ND into far northwest MN

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 423...

Valid 160757Z - 160930Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 423
continues.

SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms will continue shifting east through
early morning.

DISCUSSION...A line of storms will continue tracking east near 40
mph the next couple of hours, taking convection across northeast ND
into far northwest MN. Measured gusts the past hour or so have
typically been less than 50 kt. A southerly 850 mb low-level jet
around 25-30 kt ahead of convection, coupled with sufficient
instability and deep-layer shear, will maintain organized convection
for at least another couple of hours. Instability rapidly wanes with
eastward extent into MN as low-level moisture decreases, and storms
should weaken as they enter northwest MN. Locally strong/isolated
severe gusts of 45-60 mph will remain possible in the short term
across northeast ND. A downstream watch and/or aerial watch
extension is not expected.
