Bowing Segment moving toward Wright Co., MN

A bowing segment heading toward Wright Co., MN initially showed diminishing convective trends.  However, some drying in the wake of the line combined with strong wind speeds within the lowest tilts of the radar depicted some concern for severe wind gusts, and after a diminishing trend ProbSevere did begin to increase again.  Looking at the All Sky LAP CAPE, instability increased from ~960 J/kg at 1627z to ~1650 J/kg at 1828z, so the All Sky CAPE product showed some utility of assessing the downstream convective environment.
