A watch will likely be needed in the next hour. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite shows agitated cumulus development along a pseudo warm front/stationary front boundary across central Minnesota amid dew points in the mid 70s to 80s. Potential for earlier storm development than advertised in morning CAM guidance is possible. Surface objective analysis indicates the mid-level CAP has weakened, with MLCAPE around 2500-3000 J/kg across central Minnesota into Wisconsin and the Upper Michigan Peninsula. Deep layer shear around 40-50 kts in association with enhanced mid to upper level flow is noted across much of Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. Initial cell development is likely to include a few discrete supercells, capable of very large hail (some instances 2+ in) and damaging wind. Through the late afternoon/early evening, discrete cells that can track along the warm front may pose a risk of a tornado as well. Storms will likely attempt upscale growth as the front sags southward through the evening. Potential for damaging winds will increase. A watch will likely be needed within the next hour. ...Thornton/Hart.. 07/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8R29Rfx12U2-c13krbo6jOOmvkjjkfkzXzQUdIB3J-951V9jh6978AV8GuZdIsEuYaPSFUXv2= QttvN5s6Uwd4Griy_c$ for graphic product...
