    Mesoscale Discussion 1157
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0347 PM CDT Wed Jul 25 2018

    Areas affected...southern Minnesota and much of Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 252047Z - 252215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to increase in coverage and
    intensity through the evening. Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be
    needed.

    DISCUSSION...Early day convection and widespread cloud cover have
    resulted in an environment that is only modestly supportive of
    organized severe thunderstorms. An additional negative factor is the
    inferred descent in the wake of the early day showers and
    thunderstorms that moved across the area. However, the airmass
    continues to slowly improve -- especially across southern Minnesota
    into southern Wisconsin -- which is on the southern fringe of the
    thicker cloud cover. Here, temperatures have warmed into the 80s and
    low 90s resulting in the best instability slightly better midlevel
    lapse rates, and some downdraft CAPE.

    As the airmass continues to recover, a southeast moving cold front
    will move through the area. Convergence along the front will support thunderstorm development and a wind threat may develop given the
    instability and strong shear in place. Additional thunderstorms may
    develop ahead of the cold front within a zone of weak warm-air
    advection around 700 millibars, posing at least a marginal hail
    threat in addition to the aforementioned wind threat.
