.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MCS OVER ERN MT HAS BEEN MOVG STEADILY
EWD..WITH CLOUD TOPS CONTINUING TO COOL AND EXPAND. AT THE SAME
TIME..TSTMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER N ND WITHIN ZONE OF STRONG 850
MB THETA-E ADVECTION AND ALONG SFC THETA-E RIDGE GRADIENT. ATTM..TSTMS
HAVE BEEN INCRG AND DRIFTING N OVER THE ND COUNTIES OF MOUNTRAIL/
BOTTINEAU/ROLETTE/TOWNER. THE CONCERN GOING FORWARD IS THAT AS MT MCS
CONTINUES TO MOVE EWD..CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW WILL FURTHER ENHANCE THE
STMS ALREADY OVER ND..FOLLOWED BY MCS MOVG ACRS W ND AND MERGING WITH
THE TSTMS OUT AHEAD OF IT. AS FOR MT MCS ITSELF..WOULD EXPECT FURTHER
INTENSIFICATION AS IT MOVES INTO AN EVEN MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT.. WITH
HIGHER PW'S/SFC AND 850MB THETA-E RIDGE/STRONG 30-50KT LLJ.
