    Mesoscale Discussion 0742
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0241 AM CDT Fri Jun 15 2018

    Areas affected...Northeast Minnesota/western Lake Superior vicinity
    into central Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 150741Z - 151015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm development is expected through
    the 4-6 AM CDT time frame, with the risk for large hail the primary
    potential severe hazard. Due to the generally isolated nature of
    the expected threat, a severe weather watch is not anticipated, but
    trends will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...The 40-50 kt low-level jet continues to gradually veer
    to an increasingly southwesterly component while shifting east of
    the Dakotas into the upper Mississippi Valley. Downstream of a
    short wave trough now progressing northeastward into southern
    Saskatchewan, a zone of enhanced low-level warm advection is
    forecast to develop across the Minnesota Arrowhead and western Lake
    Superior vicinity into north central Wisconsin. This is generally
    just east of the nose of the warm and more strongly capping elevated
    mixed layer plume emanating from the Great Basin. Models suggest
    that this will coincide with elevated moisture return (within the
    850-700 mb layer) underrunning the cap, which may contribute to
    rapid destabilization and increasing thunderstorm development
    through the 09-11Z time frame. This will generally be based above a
    relatively cool/stable surface based air mass associated with a
    surface high centered over the Great Lakes. However, the
    development of moderately large CAPE, in the presence of at least
    modest vertical shear within the convective layer, probably will be
    sufficient to support at least some risk for severe hail.
