    Mesoscale Discussion 1679
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0336 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2023

    Areas affected...western Wisconsin and Minnesota

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

    Valid 222036Z - 222230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered storms capable of large hail may continue
    through the afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing thunderstorm activity across Minnesota and
    Wisconsin have produced scattered reports of 0.50"-1.25" hail, along
    with one report of 2.5 inch hail near Marcell, MN. Convection is
    further aided by a mid-level impulse digging southward across
    Minnesota at this time. RAP sounding analysis indicates largely
    straight hodographs with steep low-level lapse rates and unstable
    conditions through the profile. MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg overlaps
    deep layer shear around 30-35 kts. Discrete convection has been able
    to produce larger hail within this environment. Forcing for ascent
    remains somewhat weak, though moisture convergence is evident from
    surface objective analysis and surface observations. Uncertainty if
    discrete storm mode will continue and duration/coverage of the large
    hail threat. Instances of sub-severe hail and hail up to 1-1.5 will
    be possible. Trends will continue to be monitored but a watch is
    unlikely to be issued at this time.
