Areas affected...Northern IA...Southern MN
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 221428Z - 221600Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A small convective system will pose a threat of isolated
damaging wind and hail through the morning. At this time, watch
issuance is considered unlikely.
DISCUSSION...A small convective system has recently evolved over
southern MN and far northern IA. This system is being supported by
moderate MUCAPE (1250-2000 J/kg per recent mesoanalyses) and
sufficient effective shear to support some convective organization.
This convection is expected to persist through the morning as it
moves along and just north of a weak surface boundary over northern
IA, with some reorganization possible as convection redevelops
immediately downstream.
Rather strong pressure rises noted immediately upstream indicate
that the system has become somewhat organized. However, the severity
of the system may tend to remain somewhat limited. While instability
is sufficient for hail, a primarily linear or cluster convective
mode will not be favorable. Meanwhile, the elevated nature of the
convection and lack of substantial heating downstream (due to
ongoing elevated convection over northeast IA) will likely temper
the severe wind threat to some extent. For these reasons, watch
issuance is considered unlikely, though a few instances of damaging
wind and/or marginally severe hail will be possible through the
morning as the system moves eastward.
