    Mesoscale Discussion 1519
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0513 PM CDT Wed Oct 03 2018

    Areas affected...Southern Minnesota...northeast Iowa...southern
    Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 032213Z - 040015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered severe storms are expected to develop along the
    cold front, with severe wind gusts and a few tornadoes possible.

    DISCUSSION...A strong cold front is currently approaching the Twin
    Cities as of 22Z, and extends southwestward into northwest IA.
    Widespread clouds have kept temperatures cool from MSP eastward into
    central WI, and this has created an effective warm front from
    southeast MN into west-central WI. To the southwest of this area,
    and ahead of the cold front, the boundary layer has become more
    mixed, with warmer temperatures and wind gusts to over 30 kt from IA
    into southern WI.

    Recently, storms have formed just west of MSP, along the
    accelerating cold front where lift is strong enough to break the
    capping inversion. Although low-level winds will veer near the
    front, shear profiles will remain favorable for supercells with
    ample low-level SRH and lengthening hodographs aloft. The greatest
    tornado potential may be with the activity developing over MN which
    will move into the existing tornado watch 395. Additional
    development is expected through evening along the front into IA and
    southern WI. Supercells will be possible, but the strong linear
    forcing mechanism may result in mixed storm modes, with damaging
    wind and tornado potential.
