   Areas affected...northern Minnesota

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 222154Z - 230030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...Isolated marginal hail reports are possible over the next
   few hours over parts of northern Minnesota.

   DISCUSSION...The air mass is currently uncapped across the region,
   with weak warm advection occurring out of the west in the wake of
   the departing trough over WI. Scattered cells have gradually formed
   from east of International Falls (near a weak surface low) to
   southwest of Duluth, but are likely fighting dry air aloft as seen
   on water vapor imagery. Still, northwesterly winds aloft are
   resulting in around 35 kt effective bulk shear, which may favor a
   couple longer-lived cells capable of hail. The overall threat is
   expected to remain widely spaced, and wane shortly after 00Z.
