CI percentages are increasing across western MN late this afternoon. MLCAPE values in this area ahead of a cold front have increased into the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range… with deep layer shear in the 40 to 50 kt range. This may be the first signs of a possible line of strong to severe storms developing over the course of the next couple of hours.
