    Mesoscale Discussion 0682
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...Far southern MN...North-central/northeast IA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 091846Z - 092045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage will likely increase over the next
    hour or two. Supercells capable of all hazards are possible and a
    watch will be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Remnant MCV from the overnight MCS that moved across NE
    is currently centered over south-central MN. Attendant surface low
    is displaced just east of the mid-level MCV with an effective cold front/surface trough extending southwestward to south of OMA.
    Additionally, a warm frontal zone extends eastward near the MN/IA
    and then southeastward through southwest WI.

    Discrete storm across Mitchell and Howard counties in northeast IA
    has recently shown deviant right motion and persistent storm
    strength, suggesting a well-organized updraft. Mesoanalysis
    estimates convective inhibition remains over the current downstream
    airmass. However, recent RAP soundings modified for current
    conditions suggest only minor amounts of convective inhibition
    remains in place. Continued filtered heating in the presence of this
    very moist and steep lapse rate environment will result in further destabilization and a moderate to strongly unstable airmass.

    As surface convergence continues, thunderstorm coverage is expected
    to increase. Favorable vertical shear profiles featuring
    southeasterly surface winds beneath moderate westerly/southwesterly
    flow aloft will support updraft organization and the development of
    supercells capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts.
    Additionally, backed surface winds will result in favorable
    low-level shear and the potential for a few tornadoes. A watch will
    be needed to cover these hazards.
