DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are expected to develop along or perhaps slightly behind a cold front across northern Minnesota late this afternoon or early this evening. This region continues to destabilize with MLCAPE around 750 to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE and it is expected to increase to as high as 1500 J/kg later this evening. Currently the airmass remains capped, but additional surface heating and cooling temperatures aloft should mostly eliminate inhibition by around 22 UTC. Once storms form, strong mid-level flow at least partially normal to the front should support a broken line of supercells. Instability will start to wane quickly after sunset and a drier airmass is present across Wisconsin. Therefore, storms may persist for a few hours after dark but are expected to weaken by late evening. Large hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat from this activity. ...Bentley/Hart.. 08/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!97leo6udoQJ3IPtAjwsktynPorwibfNx2W1ZwW0Vzn9_dIo4MhLIznaeCGWqMt9O5QsyQ2cqf= EaJh8yOFISTXohtcaI$ for graphic product...
