    Areas affected...east central Minnesota into northwestern Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 282009Z - 282215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...A rapidly developing supercell or two appears possible by
    5-7 PM CDT, before storms begin to consolidate into an organizing
    cluster. This will be accompanied by a risk for large hail and
    perhaps a tornado, before strong wind gusts becomes the more
    prominent hazard this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Downstream of a developing low over central Minnesota,
    a focused new area of thunderstorm development to the southwest of
    Duluth appears largely rooted within ascent associated with lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection. Models suggest that this
    will generally be maintained through the remainder of the afternoon,
    as the leading edge of a narrow plume of more substantive low-level
    moisture return occurs on south-southwesterly flow across
    southwestern through east central Minnesota. It appears that this
    will become supportive of rapid boundary-layer destabilization
    characterized by mixed-layer CAPE increasing in excess of 2000 J/kg,
    on the southwestern periphery of the initial elevated storm
    development.=20=20

    While this also may tend to coincide with warming and increasingly
    capping mid-level air advecting from southwest to northeast across
    the upper Mississippi Valley vicinity, it appears that a window of
    opportunity may exist for rapidly intensifying boundary-based
    thunderstorm development. Beneath 30-50 kt westerly mid-level flow,
    this may include an isolated supercell or two. Before subsequently
    tending to grow upscale into an organizing cluster, this activity
    may pose a risk for large hail and perhaps a tornado.
