    MD 1595 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 542... FOR
    SOUTH-CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST MN...WEST-CENTRAL WI
    Mesoscale Discussion 1595 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1246 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2019
    Areas affected...South-Central/Southeast MN...West-Central WI Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 542...
    Valid 270546Z - 270715Z
    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 542
    continues.
    SUMMARY...Ongoing storms are expected to persist for the next hour
    or two with an isolated strong wind gust and hail threat. Spatial
    and temporally limited threat will preclude the need for another
    watch downstream.
    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue along a weak cold front extending
    from western Lake Superior southwestward through west-central WI
    and south-central MN. Strongest storm is currently moving through
    Dunn and eastern Pepin counties in west-central WI. Storms have
    also recently intensified farther southwest along the front in
    southeast and south-central MN.
    Given the strong convective inhibition (i.e. -200 J/kg) in place for
    any surface-based parcels, these ongoing storms are likely elevated,
    supported by weak warm-air advection between 925 and 850 mb.
    Moderate instability exists downstream, supported by lapse rates
    between 800 and 600 mb near 7 deg C per km and ample low-level
    moisture (100-mb mean mixing ratios around 14 g/kg). Moderate
    vertical shear also exists, with mesoanalysis estimating effective
    bulk shear around 35-40 kt. Expectation is for the ongoing storms
    to persist for the next hour or two before eventually weakening as
    the warm-air advection weakens. Before they weaken, a few strong
    wind gusts and isolated hail are possible. Spatial and temporally
    limited threat will limit the need for a downstream watch.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
    THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE UPPER GREAT
    LAKES REGION...
    ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from
    Lower Michigan into southern Wisconsin, and from eastern Wyoming
    and western Nebraska into South Dakota. Marginal hail and wind are
    most likely.
    ...Synopsis... A shortwave trough over the Upper Great Lakes
    Saturday morning will weaken as it ejects northeastward toward
    eastern Ontario, with a surface low over James Bay. During this
    time, winds aloft will weaken, with 500-mb speeds south of this wave
    decreasing from 40 to 25 kt by 00Z. A cold front will stall from
    northern Lower Michigan into southern Wisconsin and northern Iowa,
    with mid to upper 60s F dewpoints remaining just ahead. This front
    will serve as a focus for scattered storms by late afternoon.
    To the west, shortwave ridging will give way to height falls from
    late in the day into the night as a shortwave trough moves east
    across MT. Aiding lift will be a smaller lead wave that will move
    from the WY/CO border across NE and SD. An east-west oriented front
    along the NE/SD border will lift north across western SD and eastern
    WY during the day, aiding moisture return with southeast surface
    winds and dewpoints near 60 F. This will result in widespread
    thunderstorms over the northern High Plains during the afternoon,
    continuing into the Dakotas overnight.
    ...Eastern Wyoming, western Nebraska, South Dakota... Strong
    heating will occur over CO and WY, near a weak lee trough and in
    the vicinity of the returning front over WY/SD. Scattered storms
    are likely to develop relatively early between 18-21Z both over the
    high terrain and near the front. Deep-layer shear will be marginal
    in terms of severe potential, with about 25kt winds at 500 mb.
    However, substantial low-level moisture with low 60s F dewpoints
    near the front will result in MUCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg and will
    support strong storms capable of marginally severe hail and wind.
    Storms are likely to congeal into a somewhat disorganized complex
    of storms and outflows as they continue across SD, with marginal
    wind or hail possible overnight.
    ...Lower Michigan into southern Wisconsin and northeast Iowa...
    Heating of a moist air mass ahead of the stalling front will lead
    to moderate instability, especially over IA and WI with MLCAPE of
    2500-3000 J/kg. Shear will weaken throughout the day but winds in
    the 850-700 mb layer will still average 25-30 kt out of the west.
    This, along with steep boundary-layer lapse rates, may support
    sporadic hail and locally gusty winds with storms that form during
    the late afternoon near the front, and persist through evening. ..Jewell/Bentley.. 07/27/2019

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE MIDDLE MISSOURI AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...
    ...SUMMARY... Few strong to severe storms could produce locally
    damaging wind gusts across parts of the Upper Midwest Sunday
    afternoon and evening.
    ...Portions of the Mid-MO and Upper MS Valleys... Overall
    guidance has not changed considerably from previous 2-3 model
    runs. South/southwesterly low level winds will maintain a seasonally
    moist airmass across the region. Dewpoints in the mid 60s to low
    70s F beneath modest midlevel lapse rates will result in weak to
    moderate destabilization by early afternoon. A lead shortwave impulse
    will spread across the region during the afternoon, while the main
    lobe of the northern Plains upper shortwave trough overspreads the
    region after 00z.
    Convection will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period
    in association with a MCV over eastern SD. This feature will shift east/northeast along a surface trough, which extends southward into
    the Upper Midwest from the main surface low over northern Manitoba.
    Some strengthening of this feature is possible, and may have an
    influence on overall severe threat. Either way, increasing ascent
    and modest effective shear around 30 kt should support some stronger storms/bowing clusters capable of locally strong wind gusts. The
    surface cold front will quickly shift southeast, extending from
    northwest WI southwestward through western IA and into central
    KS by mid evening. Some organization of a line along the front is
    possible during the nighttime hours as a southwesterly low level
    jet increases, but convection may struggle to remain surface based
    with a lack of stronger instability/shear.
    ...Eastern OH into PA/NY and portions of New England...
    Scattered storms are expected to develop by early afternoon along
    a weak surface boundary from northeast OH into western PA/NY. 60s
    surface dewpoints will aid in weak destabilization as a weak upper
    trough garners just enough effective shear for semi-organized
    clusters and line segments. Overall severe threat is expected to
    remain low given modest environmental parameters.
    Further northeast into parts of ME, somewhat stronger effective
    shear could glance the area and storm structures could organize a
    bit more than further southwest. This could result in a relative max
    in strong storm potential with some gusty winds or perhaps small
    hail possible. However, poor lapse rates and limited instability
    combined with weak forcing should temper overall threat.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 2% - Marginal Wind:
    5% - Marginal Hail: 5% - Marginal

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
    ...SUMMARY... Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected
    on Monday.
    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough will linger over the upper Great Lakes/Midwest
    vicinity on Monday. The main wave will accelerate into western
    Quebec while a weaker southern branch becomes sandwiched between a
    strong upper ridge centered over the Rockies and a ridge over the
    western Atlantic. A surface cold front will continue east and south,
    oriented from near Lake Michigan to northern KS by Tuesday morning.
    Areas of thunderstorms are possible along and ahead of the front
    from the upper Great Lakes southwestward toward the Ozark Plateau
    and parts of the southern Plains. A lack of stronger forcing
    and generally weak deep layer flow will limit organized severe
    potential. However, given a moist, unstable boundary layer along
    the surface boundary, cannot rule out sporadic strong storms. Any
    limited severe potential will be driven by mesoscale influences
    both from prior day's convection and storm/boundary interactions,
    which are uncertain and not resolved well at this time.

    Valid 271200Z - 281200Z
    ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTHERN MONTANA...
    ...Synopsis... A mid-level shortwave trough will move through the
    northwestern CONUS today. Strengthening mid-level flow associated
    with this trough will lead to elevated fire weather conditions in
    several locations in the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies,
    critical conditions in northern Montana, and the potential for
    isolated dry thunderstorms from central Idaho into southern Montana.
    ...Much of northern Montana... Strengthening downslope flow and deep
    mixing will lead to strengthening surface winds and lowering relative
    humidity across much of northern Montana during the afternoon and
    evening hours today. Winds are expected to increase to 20 to 30 mph
    across this region with relative humidity in the 15 to 20 percent
    range. The strongest winds are expected to be in closer proximity
    to the higher terrain in Toole and Liberty counties.
    ...Much of eastern Washington... While the strongest mid-level flow
    will be in northern Montana by this afternoon, winds aloft will still
    be strong enough for elevated wind speeds to mix toward the surface
    in much of the Columbia Basin. Wind speeds are expected to be in the
    15 to 20 mph range with relative humidities around 18 to 25 percent. ...Southern Oregon into Idaho... Mid-level winds are expected
    to be much weaker in southern Oregon and Idaho this afternoon,
    but the low-level air mass is expected to be much drier than areas
    farther north. Therefore, while winds are only expected to be in
    the 10 to 15 mph range in much of this region, very dry surface
    humidity in the 8 to 15 percent range gives enough justification
    for an elevated delineation.
    ...Dry Thunderstorms - East central Idaho into southwest Montana... Thunderstorms are expected to develop over the higher terrain
    in central Idaho during the afternoon and move eastward into the
    evening. These storms are expected to form in an environment with
    PWAT values around 0.75" and storm speeds around 25 mph. Therefore,
    this combination of a relatively dry environment and moderate storm
    speeds in an area with 100 hr fuel moisture less than 10% should
    support a threat for lightning ignitions in portions of eastern
    Idaho and southwest Montana.

    0149 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2019
    Valid 281200Z - 291200Z
    ...Synopsis... 35 to 40 knot mid-level northwesterly flow will be
    present across the northern Rockies and northern Plains on Sunday. At
    the surface, most of the northern Rockies and the western Dakotas
    will be in a dry post frontal air mass. The combination of these
    dry conditions and increasing surface winds due to deep mixing
    transporting the stronger winds from aloft to the surface may lead
    to elevated fire weather conditions in eastern Montana, southwest
    North Dakota, and northwest South Dakota as well as eastern Idaho
    and western Wyoming.
    ...eastern Montana, southwest North Dakota, and northwest South
    Dakota... Northwesterly surface winds of 20 to 25 mph are expected
    to develop by mid-afternoon from eastern Montana into the western
    Dakotas. In addition, surface relative humidity is expected to drop
    to the 20 to 25 percent range. Elevated conditions are not expected
    to be all that long-lived in any one location as a reinforcing
    shot of cool air will advect southward from Canada and increase
    surface relative humidity from north to south across the elevated
    area during the afternoon and evening.
    ...Eastern Idaho and western Wyoming... The stronger mid-level
    flow is expected to remain over Montana and the Dakotas, but is
    it is expected to be sufficient (30 to 35 knots) over portions of
    the north-central Rockies for surface winds to increase to 15 to
    20 mph during the afternoon and evening. In addition, a dry air
    mass will be in place across this region with surface relative
    humidity in the 10 to 20 percent range. Therefore, an elevated fire
    weather area is justified from central Idaho eastward into central
    Wyoming. Conditions may be less dry in the higher elevations of
    northwest Wyoming and therefore, elevated conditions may be less
    likely, but relative humidities are expected to be close enough
    (20 to 25 percent) with slightly higher winds at elevation, that
    this area was included within the broader elevated area.
