MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1282
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0540 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF MINNESOTA INTO FAR WESTERN WISCONSIN
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 232240Z - 240015Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO
POSE A RISK FOR ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND PERHAPS A BRIEF TORNADO OR
TWO. WATCH ISSUANCE REMAINS UNCERTAIN.
DISCUSSION...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED ACROSS
PORTIONS OF MINNESOTA THROUGH EARLY EVENING ALONG A SURFACE
BOUNDARY. ISOLATED, TRANSIENT SUPERCELL STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN NOTED
WITH THIS ACTIVITY AND HAVE PRODUCED SPORADIC REPORTS OF BRIEF
FUNNEL CLOUDS AND HAIL UP TO 1.75 INCHES IN DIAMETER OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF HOURS. EXPECTATION IS FOR THIS ACTIVITY TO PERSIST FOR AT
LEAST ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS, WITH TWO AREAS OF LOCALLY GREATER
SEVERE POTENTIAL EVIDENT WITHIN THE BROADER DISCUSSION AREA.
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AN
OCCLUDED FRONT HAVE SHOWN BRIEF UPTICKS IN INTENSITY. SHOULD A
STRONGER CELL BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED, ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND
PERHAPS A BRIEF TORNADO MAY BE POSSIBLE. FARTHER SOUTH, ONGOING
CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA CONTINUES TO DISPLAY SIGNS
OF MODEST ORGANIZATION. THE STRONGEST CELLS CONTINUE TO POSE A RISK
FOR ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND A BRIEF TORNADO, PARTICULARLY WITH ANY
CELLS THAT FAVORABLY INTERACT WITH THE SURFACE WARM FRONT. WATCH
ISSUANCE REMAINS UNCERTAIN OWING TO GENERALLY LIMITED/MARGINAL
THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES AND THE ISOLATED NATURE OF THE SEVERE THREAT.
