Valid 161934Z - 162100Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 596 continues. SUMMARY...The severe weather threat is increasing through the afternoon. DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells has developed across central Minnesota. The MKX VWP is sampling around 45 knots of mid-level flow which is resulting in around 40 knots of effective shear. Shear decreases rapidly with southern extent to only around 15 to 20 knots across northern Illinois. Therefore, storms may become less organized and outflow dominant as they congeal and move south across northern Illinois. However, greater instability (3000-4000 J/kg MLCAPE) and near 2 inch PWAT values will support a damaging wind threat as the storm cluster moves south this afternoon and evening. ...Bentley/Mosier.. 08/16/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4BGYLx0fXO1fprmO_RtZ23NofSXiYeiSSx0fteE4zepLaYfzCgJWIr89BzlW38Af1sD4Ghzcs= jU_-B-UurKaWS_V3fs$ for graphic product...
