    Areas affected...north-central Minnesota and the vicinity

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 101735Z - 101930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm development is probable this
    afternoon across north-central Minnesota. Wind gusts and large hail
    are possible with the strongest storms.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development is underway along a mostly
    meridional cold front draped along the western MN border. This
    vertical development is boosted by a shortwave impulse rotating
    through the broader cyclone aloft -- currently arcing through
    central SD -- evident in upper-level water vapor imagery. Diurnal
    heating amidst scattered cloudiness has yielded temperatures rising
    to around 80 F ahead of the front, and dewpoints in the mid-/upper-
    60s F. Per current mesoanalysis, this environment features
    negligible convective inhibition and CAPE values around 1500+ J/kg.

    During the next couple of hours, additional convection initiation
    and maturation is expected along and ahead of the front as it moves
    eastward into northern MN. Wind profiles are forecast to be mostly
    southerly, with strong upper-level flow inducing large cloud-bearing
    shear. While relatively modest low-level shear should limit the
    tornado threat with any discrete cells, the larger bulk shear will
    support a wind and large-hail threat with any stronger supercell
    structures.
