Hail and strong gusty winds will be possible. The severe threat is expected to be too marginal for weather watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis has a cold front draped from central North Dakota into western Ontario, with several surface troughs located across a moist airmass from the northern Plains into the western Great Lakes. The RAP is analyzing a pocket of moderate instability from eastern North Dakota into north-central Minnesota, where widely scattered thunderstorms have developed early this evening. MLCAPE in this area is estimated to be as great as 1200 J/kg. In addition, regional WSR-88D VWPs suggest that moderate deep-layer shear is in place across much of central and northern Minnesota, with 0-6 km shear estimated to be in the 40 to 50 knot range. This environment should support an isolated severe threat this evening. Hail and strong gusty winds will be the primary threats. However, the severe potential should remain marginal, mainly due to a lack of large-scale ascent across the region. ...Broyles.. 07/10/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9Xda93dlKuEY6JyVoGPid2gcoDe5nsBrI7pDm3aULDiL3QODxyjP8E9ukt_cGGlgoiEpcGsL2= tQ-9oaRMqshoPTVin8$ for graphic product...
