    Mesoscale Discussion 1526

    Areas affected...Portions of eastern ND...western MN...and far
    northeastern SD

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 131956Z - 132230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated hail/wind threat may continue for a few more
    hours this afternoon. But, watch issuance will probably not be
    needed.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have gradually increased in coverage over
    eastern ND this afternoon along/near a weak surface trough.
    Persistent west-northwesterly flow aloft strengthens with height at
    mid/upper levels per recent VWPs from KMVX. Deep-layer shear of
    30-40 kt appears sufficient for supercells, but ongoing
    clustering/updraft interactions lend some uncertainty as to whether thunderstorms will be able to remain at least semi-discrete.
    Regardless, moderate instability and elongated hodographs aloft
    should encourage some threat for large hail with any supercell that
    can persist. Otherwise, isolated severe/damaging winds may occur
    with any convective downdraft as thunderstorms spread
    east-southeastward across eastern ND and western MN over the next
    few hours. At this point, it appears that the overall severe threat
    will remain isolated enough to preclude watch issuance.
