MD 1022 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 285... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA AND NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA Mesoscale Discussion 1022 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1108 PM CDT Sun Jun 07 2026 Areas affected...portions of central North Dakota and northern South Dakota Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 285... Valid 080408Z - 080545Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 285 continues. SUMMARY...A few severe gusts remain possible tonight mainly over north-central North Dakota. Convection is generally weakening and a downstream watch appears unlikely. DISCUSSION...Severe storms across WW285 have shown a decrease in intensity over the last hour. This trend is likely to continue as these storms move eastward into a less unstable air mass across ND. Still, a few severe gusts are possible, mainly over portions of north-central ND where the cold pool is the strongest. Thus some severe risk will continue over WW285 which has been extended in time to 0600z. A downstream watch is unlikely given the expected weakening as the line moves into eastern ND. Farther south, additional convective development across northwestern SD is likely occurring behind the surface front/outflow from prior convection. Recent reports of 50-55 mph gusts from SDDOT sensors suggest some potential for isolated severe gusts through the remainder of this evening and into the overnight hours. However, increasing inhibition lends low confidence to any sustained severe risk. ..Lyons/Gleason.. 06/08/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
