Areas affected...Eastern North Dakota

Concerning...Tornado Watch 448...

Valid 210115Z - 210315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 448 continues.

SUMMARY...A localized corridor of higher tornado and very large hail
(2-3 inches) potential may be emerging across eastern North Dakota.

DISCUSSION...Over the past 30-60 minutes, a lone supercell has shown
signs of steady intensification and organization based on
reflectivity/velocity imagery, live web feeds, and a recent report
of golf ball-sized hail. Additionally, 1-minute GOES IR imagery
shows additional convective towers beginning to deepen to the
southwest of the initial cell within a zone of pronounced isentropic
ascent. Given the extremely buoyant and strongly sheared
environment, continued storm intensification appears probable over
the next 1-2 hours as storms migrate north/northeast towards the Red
River. Although storms may be slightly elevated at the moment given
their initiation zone atop a stable stratus deck, strengthening
low-level pressure perturbations will likely lead to storms becoming surface-based within the next hour or so. As this occurs, storms
will likely begin ingesting the strong low-level SRH within the
frontal zone (as hinted at by recent RAP soundings and a modified
00z BIS sounding), and will pose an increasing tornado threat,
including the potential for a strong tornado. An increase in the
low-level jet through the evening will likely bolster low-level
shear with an attendant increase in the tornado risk. Additionally,
the kinematic environment should be conducive for very large (2-3
inch) hail stones. This threat should remain fairly localized across east-central ND given the relatively focused initiation
zone/mechanism.
