    Mesoscale Discussion 1217
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0652 PM CDT Wed Aug 01 2018

    Areas affected...Central and northeast IA...extreme southeast
    MN...and southwest and central WI

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 012352Z - 020215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and locally strong wind gusts are possible
    this evening across central and northeast Iowa into southwest and
    central Wisconsin. Given limited coverage in space and duration,
    watch issuance is not warranted.

    DISCUSSION...The atmosphere across central and northeast IA into
    southwest and central WI is expected to remain moderately unstable
    and weakly sheared to support multicell storms as a cold front
    advances southward through the discussion area. Forcing for ascent
    attendant to a shortwave trough detected by water vapor imagery will
    further continue to spread across IA and southwest to southern WI
    this evening aiding in additional updraft development. DCAPE of
    800-1000 J/kg south of the front across IA should enhance the
    potential for locally strong wind gusts, while weak midlevel lapse
    rates and weak effective bulk shear may temper the hail size. The
    exception for the latter threat will be across central WI, where
    effective bulk shear is a little stronger and forcing for ascent is
    greater given closer proximity to the shortwave trough.
