    Mesoscale Discussion 1135
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0155 PM CDT Sun Jul 22 2018

    Areas affected...Central Dakotas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 221855Z - 222130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are expected to develop this afternoon across the
    central Dakotas. The primary threats will be hail/wind.

    DISCUSSION...A few elevated storms are moving across northern North
    Dakota as an upper-level trough over Saskatchewan is providing
    ascent aloft over the area. A surface boundary/trough stretching
    from north-central North Dakota southward through northwest Nebraska
    and surface low near PHP should help focus convection this
    afternoon. Storms will develop in an environment conducive for
    severe weather characterized by moderate instability (MLCAPE
    1500-2500 J/kg) and shear (effective bulk shear 30-45 knots). Given
    the amount of CAPE/shear and orientation of the shear to the
    boundary, a broken line of cells are expected to develop along the
    surface boundary/trough and move east-southeast.

    Visible satellite imagery shows a stratus field across portions of
    central North Dakota ahead of the elevated storms, which could limit instability and the overall severe threat for this area. However,
    farther south, severe hail/wind are possible where daytime heating
    should increase the chances of surface-based storms. A watch is
    possible given the likelihood of severe storms although coverage may
    be problematic given the stratus layer.
