The primary threat will likely be large hail and severe winds. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have started to expand south out of southern Canada in an increasingly unstable environment across northern Minnesota. These storms are currently in a region with relatively weak mid-level flow and less than 30 knots of shear. This likely explains the lack of more robust storm development thus far. However, ascent and shear should increase this evening as the left exit region of the mid-level jet overspreads the region. This may be sufficient for more organized storms later today. Large hail and severe wind gusts will likely be the primary severe weather hazards, particularly west of the surface front where surface flow has veered and a more inverted-v thermodynamic profile has developed. However, a tornado or two may be possible with storms in the vicinity of the surface front which arcs from east-central Minnesota into north-central Minnesota where hodographs are small, but demonstrate some low-level clockwise curvature. A severe thunderstorm watch may eventually be needed if one or more organized storms/storm clusters can develop. ...Bentley/Hart.. 07/19/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6mbsWldoafJ-IwYPeOocD9OMrJRV6VQ7IdrkbPIpic7F9WqYD03NGjEnYewnSfl9zHl3_09Q3= Txw7Eo3wbZ2SG8F0iM$ for graphic product...
