AREAS AFFECTED...NRN MN

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 260939Z - 261115Z

AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT MAY DEVELOP OVER NRN MN EARLY THIS
MORNING. HAIL WOULD LIKELY BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE ACTIVITY. THE
SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN MARGINAL AND A WW IS NOT ANTICIPATED
ACROSS THE REGION.

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SFC LOW OVER SE SASKATCHEWAN WITH A COLD
FRONT EXTENDING SWWD ACROSS ERN ND. ELEVATED CELLS ARE INITIATING
EAST OF THE BOUNDARY IN NCNTRL MN WHERE SUBSTANTIAL ELEVATED
INSTABILITY EXISTS WITH RUC ANALYZING MUCAPE VALUES IN THE 1500 TO
2500 J/KG RANGE. IN ADDITION...REGIONAL WSR-88D VWPS SHOW ABOUT 40
KT OF VERTICAL SHEAR SUGGESTING ROTATING STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS
STORMS INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE CELLS ARE
LOCATED ON THE ERN EDGE OF A PLUME OF STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WITH RELATIVELY COOL MID-LEVEL TEMPS AROUND -14C. THIS SHOULD
SUPPORT A HAIL THREAT AS THE THUNDERSTORMS MATURE EARLY THIS
MORNING.
