    Mesoscale Discussion 1370

    Areas affected...northern Iowa...southeastern and east-central
    Minnesota...and western Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 271924Z - 272100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms continue to gradually increase, in conjunction with
    associated severe risk. WW issuance is expected within the next
    hour or so.

    DISCUSSION...Continued progression of a mid-level short-wave trough
    across South Dakota/Nebraska is resulting in a steady increase in
    ascent -- focused near the surface front extending from the western
    shore of Lake Superior southwest into south central Nebraska.
    Diurnal heating of the moist pre-frontal boundary layer has resulted
    in 2500 to 3000 j/Kg mixed-layer CAPE, as indicated by objective
    analyses, which is supporting a gradual increase in convection --
    mainly near and just to the cool side of the boundary. This
    increase includes a supercell near the immediate frontal zone now
    crossing southern Mille Lacs county, where risk for mainly hail is
    evident.

    Recent MPX special RAOB data shows that the warm-sector boundary
    layer remains capped, as the suppressed pre-frontal cu field -- per
    the latest visible satellite loop -- would imply. However, current expectations are for storms to gradually increase near the front --
    over the central Minnesota to northern Iowa vicinity -- in the next
    couple of hours. With the uncontaminated OAX (Omaha, NE) VWP
    showing moderately strong southwest above-surface flow suggestive of
    potential for both organized and fast-moving bands of storms, as
    well as supercells, increasing risks for damaging winds and hail --
    along with a possible tornado or two depending upon storm
    mode/evolution -- suggest that WW will be required in the next 1-2
    hours.
