    Areas affected...far northeast IA/southeast MN into central WI

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

    Valid 151618Z - 151745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Elevated thunderstorms tracking northeast into
    west-central and central WI through early afternoon may pose a
    threat for gusty winds and hail. Watch issuance is uncertain in the
    short term.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of elevated thunderstorms is tracking
    northeast around 40-45 kt across northeast IA/southeast MN late this
    morning. This activity is occurring on the nose of a 25-30 kt
    southwesterly low level jet and along the northern edge of an
    instability gradient. The downstream airmass across WI is quickly
    warming into the mid-80s amid upper 60s surface dewpoints and rapid destabilization is expected into the afternoon hours. The current
    track of convection may remain to the cool side of the surface
    boundary draped southwest to northeast across central WI. This may
    limit overall severe potential to a marginal hail and locally gusty
    wind threat. However, if convection can become surface based with
    eastward extent, greater severe potential (including damaging gusts
    and perhaps a tornado or two) could develop. Convective trends will
    be monitored and a watch could become necessary if surface-based
    evolution becomes evident.=20

    Additional severe storms are expected later this afternoon and an
    upgrade to a Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5) will be included with the
    1630z convective outlook.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1175
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0153 PM CDT Tue Jun 20 2023

    Areas affected...portions of northeast Wyoming into extreme
    southeast Montana

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

    Valid 201853Z - 202030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing across portions of the
    northern High Plains. Severe wind and hail are expected to be the
    primary hazards with the stronger storms. A Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch issuance may be needed to address the pending threat.

    DISCUSSION...The combination of orographic lift, diurnal heating,
    and deep-layer ascent from a mid-level trough approaching from the
    west, are all contributing to an increase in anafrontal thunderstorm development. These storms are developing amid increasing mid-level
    flow, with strengthening southwesterly flow above 700 mb
    contributing to 50+ kts of effective bulk (speed) shear. With the
    RIW VAD and RAP forecast soundings both depicting relatively
    straight, elongated hodographs, transient supercells and short line
    (possible bowing) segments are the expected storm modes. Though
    overall buoyancy is modest, the presence of 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse
    rates suggests that large hail may accompany the stronger storm
    cores. Downward momentum transport of the stronger flow aloft in
    higher-terrain areas may also support severe gusts. A Severe
    Thunderstorm Watch issuance may be needed pending greater storm
    coverage, most likely once storms progress east and north of the Big
    Horn Mountains.
