Areas affected...Southeast Minnesota into western Wisconsin
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 246...
Valid 200038Z - 200245Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 246
continues.
SUMMARY...Sporadic severe hail will remain possible through the late
evening hours across parts of southeast Minnesota into western
Wisconsin.
DISCUSSION...Training convection along/north of the surface warm
front in the vicinity of a surface low over south-central MN has
shown signs of weakening over the past hour. This is likely due to
destructive storm interference as semi-discrete storms merge into a
poorly organized cluster. Despite this trend, the 00 UTC sounding
from MPX reveals 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates and modest
boundary-layer moisture supporting around 1200 J/kg MUCAPE in the
vicinity of the cluster. This observation is consistent with recent mesoanalysis estimates, which shows a gradually diminishing MUCAPE
field to the east into central WI. Favorable effective bulk shear
near 40 knots (sampled by the 00 UTC MPX and DVN soundings) remains
supportive of organized convection. Despite recent trends, this
environment remains supportive of organized convection, so an
intensification of one or more cells within the cluster remains
possible through the late evening and will maintain the severe hail
threat. This activity may persist into central WI late tonight as
the warm frontal zone lifts north, but the overall severe threat
beyond 03 UTC remains uncertain.
