Areas affected...Southern Minnesota...far northwest...Iowa...and far
northeast Nebraska

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 290025Z - 290230Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...A couple strong to severe storms capable of producing
locally damaging wind gusts (around 60 mph) and marginally severe
hail (around 1 inch) are possible through around 03Z.

DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are evolving along a northeast/southwest-oriented cold front extending from southern MN
into far northeast IA and northeast NE. Earlier diurnal heating
beneath an EML plume has resulted in steep deep-layer lapse rates
and around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE along the front. While instability is
marginal, 30-40 kt of effective shear oriented parallel/oblique to
the surface front will support small, loosely organized clusters
capable of producing locally damaging winds gusts (around 60 mph)
and marginally severe hail (around 1 inch) for the next few hours.
Given the flow orientation to the southeastward-moving cold front,
there may be a tendency for upscale growth into a line, before being
undercut by the front. Therefore, any severe risk is expected to
remain fairly brief (through around 02-03Z).
