Valid 082250Z - 090045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 498 continues. SUMMARY...Storms capable of severe wind gusts as well as large hail continue within WW 498. Linear storm mode will favor severe wind gusts as the primary threat. A downstream WW or WW extensions will likely be needed in the next 1-2 hours. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms in WW 498 have clustered into several linear segments. Given the extreme buoyancy out ahead of this activity -- 3500-4000 J/kg MLCAPE -- storms will continue to propagate eastward and pose a threat for severe wind gusts. Though deep-layer shear is modest (around 30-35 kts) and storm mode has become more linear, steep level lapse rates will support large hail in the stronger cores. Stronger storms have also developed within southern Manitoba, some of which may move into portions of northern Minnesota. A downstream WW or WW extensions will need to be considered within the next 1-2 hours as activity is expected to maintain its intensity into the early evening. ..Wendt.. 07/08/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
