A watch may be needed. DISCUSSION...Continued heating across southern Minnesota has gradually weakened convective inhibition this afternoon. Over the last 30 minutes, visible satellite shows deeper cumulus starting to develop, likely in response to ascent from the approaching mid-level shortwave trough. This increased ascent, combined with 1000 J/kg MLCAPE and expectation of some additional heating, could provide ample buoyancy/lift for thunderstorm development in the next 1 to 2 hours. However, dewpoints have also started to decrease across western Minnesota in response to deeper mixing which could be a limiting factor to greater storm coverage. Strong mid-level flow (60 knots per FSD VWP) will provide ample shear for supercells, some capable of 2+ inch hail. Additionally, an ongoing left-moving supercell across east-central South Dakota may continue east across southern Minnesota given moderate instability and a long/straight hodograph. The combination of this potential and the potential for additional scattered storm development may necessitate a severe thunderstorm watch or watch extension later this afternoon. ...Bentley/Hart.. 07/19/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9piY74BCuBIixmu9D8hlkzukVgByjahyZbzsL-YUIySt8ASA3gim8uynrus3SD2mej-_s0kZ-= uzPeZd-tdHJ5q5Wc-g$ for graphic product...
