    Areas affected...portions of southern and central MN...far eastern
    SD/northwest IA

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

    Valid 292214Z - 300015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and or damaging wind gusts are possible with
    scattered storms along a frontal zone this afternoon/evening. Storm organization and coverage should remain below the need for a weather
    watch.

    DISCUSSION...Across parts of the northern Plains and upper Midwest,
    scattered thunderstorms have slowly intensified along a frontal zone
    across parts of southwest MN and far eastern SD. Along and south of
    the front, surface temperatures in the 80s with dewpoints in the mid
    60s were supporting 1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE. However, much of the
    warm sector remains capped in the lower levels. So far, storm
    development has been focused along and immediately north of the warm
    front where overrunning and mid-level warm advection are supporting
    1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE. While not overly large, the forcing along
    the front, moderate buoyancy and mid-level lapse rates of 7-7.5 C/km
    will likely continue to support a few strong updrafts into this
    evening. Deep-layer shear of 30-40 kts may favor some storm
    organization into multicell clusters of elevated supercell
    structures. Given the storm mode and potential for some organization
    the primary risk will be for isolated hail and or damaging winds
    with the strongest storms. Storm coverage and organization are
    expected to remain relatively limited with the majority of storms
    staying elevated along and north of the front. Thus, a weather watch
    appears unlikely though convective trends will be monitored.
