MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1593
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0904 AM CDT THU AUG 21 2014
AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SERN MN/WI...NRN IL AND NRN IA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 471...
VALID 211404Z - 211530Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 471
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE SEVERE WIND/HAIL THREAT APPEARS TO BE DIMINISHING.
SUBSTANTIVE NEW DEVELOPMENT OR RE-INTENSIFICATION CURRENTLY APPEARS
UNLIKELY THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY AFTERNOON...AND THE REMAINING VALID
PORTION OF WW 471 MAY BE CANCELLED PRIOR TO THE 17Z SCHEDULED
EXPIRATION.
DISCUSSION...ALTHOUGH THE NOCTURNAL SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...LARGE-SCALE FORCING REMAINS SUFFICIENT TO
MAINTAIN CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE REGION. ONE MID-LEVEL
SHORT WAVE IMPULSE AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTIVELY GENERATED OR ENHANCED
CYCLONIC CIRCULATION ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SHIFTING EAST OF THE
UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH
MID DAY...IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERWISE GENERALLY RISING MID-LEVEL
HEIGHTS. A TRAILING MID-LEVEL CYCLONIC VORTICITY CENTER APPEARS
LIKELY TO CONTINUE SHIFTING EAST NORTHEAST OF THE MID MISSOURI
VALLEY...AND COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAINTENANCE OF CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT ALONG AN EFFECTIVE WARM FRONTAL ZONE NEAR OR JUST SOUTH
OF THE MINNESOTA BORDER. HOWEVER...ONGOING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
APPEARS GENERALLY ROOTED WITH FORCING ABOVE THE BOUNDARY
LAYER...WITH LITTLE EVIDENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT SURFACE COLD
POOL...AND THIS SEEMS LIKELY TO REMAIN THE CASE THROUGH AT LEAST
EARLY AFTERNOON.
