Areas affected...northeast North Dakota

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 491...

Valid 170335Z - 170430Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 491
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe weather threat is expected to diminish over the
next hour.

DISCUSSION...Recent radar and satellite data indicate a gradual
weakening of ongoing storms across portions of Wells, Eddy, and
Foster Counties. The onset of nocturnal cooling is resulting in
increasing convective inhibition, and in the absence of appreciable
forcing for ascent, that trend is likely to continue along with a
decreasing severe weather threat by 04Z (11 PM CDT).
