DISCUSSION...Ongoing thunderstorm activity across Minnesota and Wisconsin have produced scattered reports of 0.50"-1.25" hail, along with one report of 2.5 inch hail near Marcell, MN. Convection is further aided by a mid-level impulse digging southward across Minnesota at this time. RAP sounding analysis indicates largely straight hodographs with steep low-level lapse rates and unstable conditions through the profile. MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg overlaps deep layer shear around 30-35 kts. Discrete convection has been able to produce larger hail within this environment. Forcing for ascent remains somewhat weak, though moisture convergence is evident from surface objective analysis and surface observations. Uncertainty if discrete storm mode will continue and duration/coverage of the large hail threat. Instances of sub-severe hail and hail up to 1-1.5 will be possible. Trends will continue to be monitored but a watch is unlikely to be issued at this time. ...Thornton/Hart.. 07/22/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9qxUfhJEsB8x-HpKSJNzXV6o-KtCH2rlaliy0gfufqrWzF_b5xHaRhwI0wvQe2K0PeRHvsNy-= eWt-BwJdyFWp-pinS4$ for graphic product...
