    Mesoscale Discussion 0464

    Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Minnesota...northeastern Iowa...southwestern Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 130014Z - 130215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The evolution of an increasingly organized cluster of
    storms seems probable this evening, before overspreading the region
    through 10 PM-Midnight, accompanied by a risk for damaging wind
    gusts and tornadoes.

    DISCUSSION...Strong thunderstorm development continues to increase
    in coverage in association with large-scale ascent downstream of a
    deep northeastward migrating surface cyclone. This is being aided
    by forcing associated with a subtle lead short wave perturbation,
    and includes an evolving cluster of supercells near the Fort Dodge
    IA area.=20=20

    As the mid-level perturbation migrates northeast of the mid Missouri
    Valley toward the Upper Midwest through mid to late evening,
    considerable further upscale convective growth will continue to
    ensue. The evolution of an increasingly organized mesoscale
    convective system seems probable as the environment destabilizes
    coincident with increasing forcing for ascent overspreading the
    region.=20

    Embedded within strengthening deep-layer ambient mean flow (in
    excess of 50 kt), increasingly widespread damaging wind gusts are
    possible. A coinciding larger-scale bow structure may evolve in
    radar reflectivities, with embedded supercell structures posing a
    risk for tornadoes, mainly where the apex of the bow intersects a
    northeastward advancing warm front ahead of the surface cyclone.

    Areas affected...portions of southern Lower Michigan

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 042335Z - 050030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail will remain a threat with a supercell across
    lower Michigan for a couple more hours. A WW issuance is not
    expected given the localized nature of the severe threat.

    DISCUSSION...An elevated supercell with a history of severe hail has
    recently shown intensification over the past hour, with MRMS mosaic
    radar data showing 30 dBZ echoes exceeding 45 kft. Continued
    low-level warm-air advection amid 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates
    (shown in the 23Z mesoanalysis), are contributing to a few hundred
    J/kg of elevated MUCAPE across southern Lower Michigan. Despite the
    elevated nature of the storms, intense speed/directional shear are
    contributing to very large hodographs, with enough SRH being
    ingested into the storm to continue supporting efficient mid-level
    rotation and associated production of large hail. Severe potential
    should continue for at least a couple more hours with this storm,
    and very large hail (2+ inches in diameter) cannot be ruled out.=20

    Given that the severe threat is expected to be associated with this
    one storm, and since longevity of this storm is in question, a WW
    issuance is not expected.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0464

    0340 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

    Areas affected...portions of northern/central IL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 162040Z - 162215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe potential may slowly increase over the next few
    hours into parts of northern and central Illinois. A watch may be
    needed at some point late this afternoon, but timing remains
    uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...A band of storms continues to lift northeast across
    eastern IA into western IL this afternoon. Much of the convection is
    somewhat disorganized in a messy storm mode. Downstream into
    northern/central IL, some modest increase in boundary-layer moisture
    still may occur as a warm front lifts north. While strong heating
    has occurred, some weak inhibition remains over parts of the area. Nevertheless, modest boundary-layer moisture beneath midlevel lapse
    rates around 7 C/km are supporting weak instability (MLCAPE 1000
    J/kg or less). The initial band of convection moving toward the MCD
    area may largely remain unproductive. However, as large-scale ascent
    increasing toward evening, a secondary band of convection may move
    into the area and post more of a severe risk. Given the somewhat
    limited thermodynamic environment (despite favorable vertical
    shear), severe potential may only gradually increase toward evening.
    The area will be monitored for potential watch issuance, but timing
    is uncertain.
