Areas affected...Arrowhead of Minnesota

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 162224Z - 170030Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...A few strong-severe thunderstorms are developing over the
Arrowhead region of Minnesota. Some risk for hail/wind can be
expected with these storms.

DISCUSSION...Southern extent of SK/ON short-wave trough is
influencing the international border region, especially the
Arrowhead of MN. Strong boundary-layer heating has contributed to
substantial buoyancy across this region, and inhibition is currently
negligible where temperatures have warmed into the mid 80s. Latest
visible imagery supports this with a considerable amount of
congestus and towering cu over St. Louis County. Over the last few
minutes, a weak shower, with lightning, has developed near Ely and
this updraft is likely rooted within a confluent boundary layer
characterized by 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. Forecast soundings favor
some risk for hail/wind as thunderstorms intensify ahead of the
short wave. This activity will spread across the Arrowhead into
northwest ON, but current thinking is the area is too limited to
issue a severe thunderstorm watch.
