Valid 272136Z - 272300Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 554 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for large hail and damaging winds will likely spread eastward over the next couple of hours. Downstream watch issuance will likely be needed. DISCUSSION...Multiple supercells are ongoing this afternoon across parts of northwestern WI and east-central MN. Multiple measured severe hail reports of 1 to 2 inches have occurred with this activity. Recent radar trends show some updraft interactions, and the beginning stages of clustering/upscale growth may continue. Regardless, a continued threat for large to very large hail will persist in the short term, as strong instability (3000-3500+ J/kg of MLCAPE) and 40+ kt of deep-layer shear prove favorable for robust updrafts. A tornado also appears possible in the short term as well, mainly across northwestern WI where low-level shear is maximized in the presence of ongoing supercells. The threat for severe/damaging winds will likely increase this evening as thunderstorm clusters move eastward across northern/central WI and the U.P. of MI. The eastern extent of the severe threat remains somewhat unclear, as less instability is present towards Lake Michigan. Still, downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance will likely be required for the increasing hail/wind threat. ...Gleason/Grams.. 07/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-FZXb6_wVdjytW-eZ74wVEi5pmJoqmK368Z9KdZCQXeCmYgm_jCNRXQQdtsH1MkN0BV_2jwvb= W6IUbRokW0Ko79WHvw$ for graphic product...
