Areas affected...central North Dakota into north-central South
Dakota

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

Valid 021659Z - 021830Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A few instances of marginally severe hail and strong to
severe wind will be possible with storms along the cold front
through early afternoon. Additional stronger storms are expected
later in the afternoon and evening.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity near the front in central North
Dakota/far northern South Dakota has shown occasional strengthening
MESH cores with marginally severe hail (with up to penny size hail
reported). For now, MLCIN remains in place across much of the
Dakotas but it is steadily beginning to erode to the north with
daytime heating and warming surface temperatures. Deep layer shear
around 30-40 kts may support a few instances of small to severe hail
and strong to severe wind may evolve before a more pronounced severe
threat develops into the afternoon.
