Areas affected...portions of central North Dakota

Concerning...Tornado Watch 448...

Valid 210304Z - 210430Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 448 continues.

SUMMARY...A derecho should continue over the next few hours. 75-100
mph winds remain a concern, and a few mesovortex-generated tornadoes
are possible.

DISCUSSION...A mature, intense bow echo is rapidly propagating
eastward across central ND at around 70 kts, and is traversing a
baroclinic boundary, where over 4000 J/kg MLCAPE and 60-80 kts of
effective bulk shear is present. Furthermore, these shear vectors
are oriented normal to the bow echo. Several measured 75-100 mph
gusts have occurred, and given the preceding ambient conditions and
baroclinic boundary, this bow echo will likely continue producing
significant-severe gusts over the next few hours. A derecho is in
progress, so 60+ mph winds should also be occurring on a more
widespread basis, as suggested by many surface observations. The
best chance for scattered significant-severe gusts will be in close
proximity to mesovortices, specifically where mesovortex winds align
with the rear-inflow jet. A few tornadoes also cannot be ruled out
with the mesovortices.
