    Mesoscale Discussion 0405

    Areas affected...Parts of Wolf River Valley into adjacent Upper
    Peninsula of Michigan

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 132148Z - 132345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail and isolated severe gusts are possible with
    elevated supercells this afternoon/early evening. A watch is
    possible should convective trends in storm intensity warrant.

    DISCUSSION...Storms have begun to develop within the Wolf River
    Valley region. These storms exist north of the warm front. While
    buoyancy is more limited with northern extent, strong shear noted on
    the KGRB VAD and steep mid-level lapse rate on the observed 18Z GRB
    sounding suggests elevated supercells will be capable of large hail
    and isolated severe wind gusts. The warm front will slowly try to
    move northward into the evening, though cooler lake air in the Fox
    River Valley/Sturgeon Bay is noted and will hinder this process to
    some extent. That being said, the overall tornado threat should
    remain low, though it will not be zero for any storm near the warm
    front.
