    Areas affected...northern WI

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

    Valid 041638Z - 041845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A broken line of thunderstorms will move through northern
    WI in the next few hours. Sporadic damaging wind gusts and hail are
    possible, but watch issuance is not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms has developed in
    south-central MN and moved through the Twin Cities vicinity in the
    last hour. Wind gusts around 30-45 kts were observed at
    Minneapolis-Saint Paul area airports as the system moved through,
    along with temperature drops around 10 F. The convection is
    currently located along the leading edge of slightly stronger
    mid-level flow (around 30-40 kts at 500 mb). Surface temperatures
    have risen to around 80 F ahead of the system, yielding a
    destabilizing airmass with negligible inhibition and MLCAPE around
    1000+ J/kg. Continued diurnal heating combined with weak moist
    advection should continue to gradually boost MLCAPE to around
    1500-2000 J/kg during the next few hours. Effective shear is
    expected to remain more modest as the system outpaces the slightly
    stronger mid-level flow to the west. This environmental evolution
    will likely support continued forced ascent along the leading edge
    of the system as it moves eastward through northern WI. Locally
    damaging wind gusts and hail may occur, but the overall threat
    should be tempered by the more marginal kinematic environment and
    relatively moist lower troposphere, respectively.
