    Areas affected...Portions of southern ND into north-central/eastern
    SD and far western MN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 230902Z - 231130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should continue to increase in coverage and
    intensity over the next couple of hours, with a threat for both
    large hail and severe wind gusts. Watch issuance may eventually be
    needed.

    DISCUSSION...A supercell has recently strengthened over
    south-central ND. A 40-50 kt southerly low-level jet is feeding into
    this thunderstorm and providing lift for additional convection
    farther east across north-central SD. Deep-layer shear of 50-60+ kt
    is present over this region as strong southerly low-level winds veer
    to westerly and strengthen further with height through mid/upper
    levels. Isolated large hail will be the primary severe concern in
    the short term with the ongoing supercell, as MUCAPE around
    1000-2000 J/kg and the strong effective bulk shear supports
    continued thunderstorm organization and intensity.

    Over the next 2-3 hours, most high-resolution guidance suggests that
    convection should grow upscale into a small bowing cluster as it
    spreads east-southeastward across far southern ND,
    north-central/eastern SD and eventually far western MN. This region
    will lie along/near an MUCAPE gradient, with at least moderate
    instability present along/south of a surface warm front.
    Severe/damaging winds may become an increasing concern towards
    11-12Z if this mode transition occurs, especially with eastward
    extent into SD where greater low-level moisture is present. Although
    watch issuance does not appear likely in the short term (next hour
    or so), it may eventually be needed if observational trends indicate
    a greater severe wind threat developing.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1559

    Areas affected...Parts of northwest and central Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 493...

    Valid 150128Z - 150300Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 493
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Storms in northwest Oklahoma appear likely to impact parts
    of central Oklahoma this evening. While they may be slightly
    elevated, large hail and isolated strong/damaging winds may still
    occur. A new watch or local extension of WW 493 may be needed.

    DISCUSSION...A few strong/severe storms have developed along a
    southward moving outflow boundary in northwest Oklahoma late in the
    afternoon. Large hail has been reported with these storms in
    Woodward. With the outflow continuing to move south per local radar imagery/surface observations, these storms may have a tendency to
    become slightly elevated. With steep mid-level lapse rates and
    moderate deep-layer shear observed on the 00Z Norman sounding, large
    hail will continue to be a possibility. Strong/damaging wind gusts
    would be possible with storms that can remain south of the outflow
    or if storms can grow upscale with time. The overall coverage of
    storms into central Oklahoma is not certain given the MLCIN also
    observed on the Norman sounding, weak low-level convergence, and an
    expected weak low-level jet. Depending on convective trends, a new
    watch or local extension of WW 493 may be needed.
