Storm organization and coverage should remain below the need for a weather watch. DISCUSSION...Across parts of the northern Plains and upper Midwest, scattered thunderstorms have slowly intensified along a frontal zone across parts of southwest MN and far eastern SD. Along and south of the front, surface temperatures in the 80s with dewpoints in the mid 60s were supporting 1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE. However, much of the warm sector remains capped in the lower levels. So far, storm development has been focused along and immediately north of the warm front where overrunning and mid-level warm advection are supporting 1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE. While not overly large, the forcing along the front, moderate buoyancy and mid-level lapse rates of 7-7.5 C/km will likely continue to support a few strong updrafts into this evening. Deep-layer shear of 30-40 kts may favor some storm organization into multicell clusters of elevated supercell structures. Given the storm mode and potential for some organization the primary risk will be for isolated hail and or damaging winds with the strongest storms. Storm coverage and organization are expected to remain relatively limited with the majority of storms staying elevated along and north of the front. Thus, a weather watch appears unlikely though convective trends will be monitored. ...Lyons/Hart.. 09/29/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!75hHGkGtFiCnbv2rpk1hbMrM10kLMKINJ0WywaQpWzZ9smQhnz2-1xnlVYTJlXskabV_JGn06= Cd_8pMk4YeujamxeBE$ for graphic product...
