ZCZC SPCSWOMCD ALL ACUS11 KWNS 290242 SPC MCD 290242 MNZ000-290345- Mesoscale Discussion 1469 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0942 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024 Areas affected...portions of northwestern Minnesota Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 290242Z - 290345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...A localized threat for mainly severe gusts and perhaps hail will accompany a cluster of storms over northwestern MN for a couple more hours. Given the localized nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is not needed. DISCUSSION...A persistent cluster of thunderstorms has intensified over the past hour, with a measured 72 mph wind gust recently reported. This thunderstorm cluster is rapidly translating eastward amid a marginally buoyant but adequately sheared environment (elongated hodographs and accompanying 50 kts of effective bulk shear). The severe threat should be confined to this small storm cluster, and the duration of these storms may be temporally limited by increasing MLCINH. Nonetheless, a couple more severe gusts cannot be ruled out. Given the brief, localized nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is not needed. ..Squitieri/Smith.. 06/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...DLH...FGF...
