EWP STATUS FOR 14 MAY 2013: 1 – 9 PM SHIFT

Another conditional / marginally severe day is on tap for Tues. We will likely be operating over Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan as a strong frontal system moves across the region.  Warm air advection will be the story over the region tomorrow with surface temperatures reaching the mid-to-upper 80s behind the warm front by the mid afternoon. Showers and storms are likely along the warm front, though at the moment, these look unlikely to become severe.  Further west ahead of the cold front, instability seems slightly better, but a strong cap and low moisture will possibly inhibit storm growth.  Models have been a bit mixed in terms of the amount of low-level moisture that will be available.

Possible CWAs of operation tomorrow:  Duluth, Marquette, and Twin Cities (MSP)
