Mesoscale Discussion 1390
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0649 PM CDT Tue Jul 05 2022
Areas affected...portions of far southern Minnesota into central
Iowa
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 438...440...
Valid 052349Z - 060115Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 438, 440
continues.
SUMMARY...The severe threat associated with a bow-echo MCS continues
across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 438, towards western parts of
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 440. Widespread severe gusts remain a
concern and a couple of significant gusts are still possible over
the next couple of hours.
DISCUSSION...A mature derecho-producing MCS continues to translate
across far southern MN into central IA with a recent history of
producing measured severe wind gusts. The 23Z mesoanalysis still
shows a reservoir of extreme instability overspread by 35 kts of
effective bulk shear out ahead of the MCS. The MCS bow remains
north-south oriented and is progressing due east. Since the
deep-layer shear vectors are oriented roughly normal to the MCS, the
ambient CAPE/shear parameter space will continue to support a
bow-echo structure with widespread strong to severe wind gusts.
Given the magnitude of MLCAPE ahead of the MCS and organized nature
of the MCS, a couple of significant severe wind gusts are still
possible into the early evening hours.
