1250 AM CDT THU JUL 31 2008

AREAS AFFECTED...ND INTO NORTHERN/EASTERN SD AND WESTERN MN

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 777...

VALID 310550Z - 310715Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 777
CONTINUES.

SEVERE TSTM WATCH 777 CONTINUES UNTIL 10Z ACROSS ND...WITH A RISK OF
DAMAGING WINDS/SEVERE HAIL. WITH A SEVERE THREAT LIKELY TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT...AN ADDITIONAL SEVERE TSTM WATCH WILL LIKELY
BE ISSUED SOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN/EASTERN SD...AND PERHAPS
INTO WESTERN/SOUTHWEST MN.

35-KT SOUTHEAST MOVING QUASI-LINEAR MCS CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL ND EARLY IN THE OVERNIGHT...WHERE SEVERE WINDS
HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED NEAR/NORTH OF THE BISMARCK AREA /50 KT AT
KBIS AT 0541Z/...ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL /2.5 INCHES/. WITH
SASKATCHEWAN SHORTWAVE TROUGH GLANCING THE NORTHERN PLAINS...AND AN
INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS
ACROSS SOUTHERN/EASTERN SD PER RUC FORECASTS...IT SEEMS LIKELY A
SEVERE MCS WILL CONTINUE TO THRIVE ON THE PERIPHERY OF A STRONG
CAP/ELEVATED MIXED LAYER. WITH A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT /AND
ASSOCIATED MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY GRADIENT/ ORIENTED
NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST FROM CENTRAL ND INTO EASTERN SD/FAR SOUTHERN
MN...THE STRONGEST PORTION OF THE MCS SHOULD PREFERENTIALLY FAVOR A
SOUTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION INTO NORTHERN/EASTERN SD...AND PERHAPS
EVENTUALLY WESTERN/SOUTHWEST MN.
