0844 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018
Areas affected...Far Southeast South Dakota...Southern
Minnesota...Southern Wisconsin...Northern Iowa
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 131344Z - 131615Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A marginal severe threat will continue from far southeast
South Dakota eastward to southern Wisconsin this morning. Isolated
large hail will be the primary threat. The potential for hail should
remain too marginal to warrant watch issuance.
DISCUSSION...Latest water vapor imagery shows a shortwave ridge over
the northern Plains. A perturbation appears to be located just
downstream of the ridge extending from eastern South Dakota eastward
into the upper Mississippi Valley. Thunderstorm activity is ongoing
near the axis of the mid-level wave where lift is likely maximized.
Surface temperatures along this corridor are in the mid to upper 30s
but elevated instability exists in the mid-levels. The Omaha 12Z
sounding shows evidence of the instability with MUCAPE near 1900
J/kg. The soundings also shows effective shear of 50 kt. Although
instability drops off with northward extent, there should still be
enough instability coupled with moderate effective shear across the
MCD area for a hail threat. Large hail will be possible with the
strongest of the elevated rotating storms. However, the threat
should remain isolated and is not expected to meet the coverage
criteria necessary for watch issuance.
