Mesoscale Discussion 0912
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0306 PM CDT Fri May 31 2019
Areas affected...Northern Wisconsin
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 312006Z - 312200Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...A few isolated damaging wind gusts and instances of
marginally severe hail will be possible as convection deepens and
becomes surface-based this afternoon across northern Wisconsin.
Storm coverage may increase later this evening as a mid-level low
approaches, but threat should remain marginal. A WW is not
anticipated.
DISCUSSION...Elevated convection has formed within a cluster of
ACCAS in northern Wisconsin. This activity appears to be in
association with weak mid-level perturbations on moisture channel
imagery approaching the area from the Canadian Prairies. With time,
continued boundary-layer destabilization should allow this activity
to deepen and become surface based -- likely in the next hour or
two. While effective deep-layer shear will be sufficient (30-45 kts)
for storm organization, dewpoints have mixed out to the low to mid
50s F leading to modest buoyancy of 500-1000 J/kg. Any surface based
convection that develops will be high-based and pose a primary
threat of a few damaging wind gusts. Marginally severe hail may also
occur should any stronger, more mature cells develop. Storm coverage
is one uncertainty in this scenario. Coverage may increase later
this evening, though, as ascent associated with a mid-level low now
in western South Dakota approaches. Overall, the threat appears to
be marginal and limited enough in space that no WW is currently
anticipated.
