    Mesoscale Discussion 1351
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...southern Minnesota into northern Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 242007Z - 242200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong storms are possible, with small hail the
    primary threat.

    DISCUSSION...Heating has lead to the development of around 1500 J/kg
    MLCAPE over IA into southern MN, with increasing CU noted on visible
    imagery. Currently, temperatures aloft are also reasonably cold
    given the upper trough aloft, and there is weak surface convergence
    related to the surface low. As such, scattered storms should develop
    over the next few hours.

    Although unstable, warming aloft behind the eastward-moving trough
    will mitigate further destabilization, and the low will continue to
    fill. Thus, while the combination of modest instability and
    deep-layer shear may support a few cells capable of marginal hail,
    the storms in general are forecast to be disorganized, with little
    waning large-scale support. As such, a watch is unlikely.
