    Areas affected...Parts of western North Dakota

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 485...

    Valid 040210Z - 040345Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 485
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Large hail and locally severe gusts remain possible with
    evolving thunderstorms over western North Dakota.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms that initiated along a
    NNE/SSW-oriented surface wind shift in western ND have shown
    transient intensification as they track slowly eastward off the
    boundary. Ahead of these storms, very steep midlevel lapse rates
    (accompanying an EML) atop lower 70s dewpoints are contributing to strong-extreme surface-based buoyancy. While low-level inhibition at
    the base of the EML and weak large-scale forcing for ascent do cast
    some uncertainty on storm maintenance/longevity (especially in the
    near-term), the strong-extreme buoyancy and 30-40 kt of effective
    shear will conditionally favor supercells with a risk of large hail
    and locally severe gusts. With time, large-scale forcing for ascent
    will increase ahead of an approaching midlevel trough currently
    moving into eastern MT, along with low-level warm advection along
    the western periphery of a strengthening low-level jet. This should
    promote additional strong-severe thunderstorms in the next few
    hours.
