THREAT FOR ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF STRONG WIND
GUSTS AND PERHAPS LARGE HAIL SHOULD INCREASE THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.
ALTHOUGH THE EXTENT/MAGNITUDE OF THE SEVERE THREAT REMAINS
QUESTIONABLE...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS FOR A POSSIBLE WATCH.

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS FEATURES SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT ROUGHLY
BISECTING MN...EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO NORTHWEST IA/EASTERN
NEB. WHILE CLOUD COVER HAS BEEN FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE
PREFRONTAL WARM SECTOR...SUFFICIENT LARGE SCALE ASCENT/FRONTAL
FORCING AND ERODING CINH SHOULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN STORM
COVERAGE/INTENSITY THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE
FROM SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST MN INTO NORTHERN/WESTERN IA AND EASTERN
NEB. ALTHOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR WEAKENS WITH EAST EXTENT ACROSS THE
WARM SECTOR...SPECIAL 18Z RAOBS FROM MINNEAPOLIS/OMAHA...IN
ACCORDANCE WILL LATEST REGIONAL PROFILER/WSR-88D VWP DATA...SUGGEST
AROUND 30-35 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR EXISTS ALONG/JUST EAST OF
THE SURFACE FRONT. LARGELY ORIENTED PARALLEL TO THE FRONT...LINEAR
CONVECTIVE MODE WILL BE DOMINANT...WITH ADEQUATE LOW LEVEL
SHEAR/MODEST LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES FAVORING THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. POTENTIALLY SEVERE
HAIL IS POSSIBLE AS WELL.
