Funnel cloud on a storm with no 0-3km CAPE, no surface based parcels and that's outflow dominant? I understand covering your bases and being safe but I'd probably call BS on a funnel report, even from a trained spotter, in the environment that storm is in unless I had a picture.

SPC backing off Tornado threat?

 

 
MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1528  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0353 PM CDT FRI JUL 19 2019  
  
AREAS AFFECTED...EAST-CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO NORTHWEST WISCONSIN  
  
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 524...  
  
VALID 192053Z - 192300Z  
  
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 524 CONTINUES.  
  
SUMMARY...SEVERE STORMS ARE TAKING SHAPE ACROSS MINNESOTA INTO  
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN, WITH A CORRIDOR OF DAMAGING STORMS EXPECTED TO  
DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.  
  
DISCUSSION...A EAST-WEST LINE OF CELLS, INCLUDING SUPERCELLS, IS  
RAPIDLY DEVELOPING ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA, AND IS LIKELY TO GROW  
UPSCALE AND TURN EAST/SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.  
WHILE STORM MODE IS CELLULAR AS OF 21Z, BACKBUILDING IS LIKELY DUE  
TO AN INFLUX OF EXTREMELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR, AIDED BY 35+ KT  
SOUTHWEST 850 MB WINDS. STORMS ARE CURRENTLY SITUATED ALONG THE  
INSTABILITY GRADIENT, AND WILL LIKELY GROW UPSCALE AND ACCELERATE  
WITH A CORRIDOR OF WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION, A  
TORNADO OR TWO REMAINS POSSIBLE WITH THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS OVER  
MINNESOTA, AND BEFORE OUTFLOWS EVENTUALLY MERGE.

Super outflow dominant, looks exactly how I expected it would. 0 tornado threat with that storm. The one to the east however, is working on becoming surface based. It could produce, but strength/longevity of any tornado may be precluded by more linear convection developing to the south and west.

REA FORECAST DISCUSSION  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN  
411 PM CDT FRI JUL 19 2019  
   
SHORT TERM  
(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)  
ISSUED AT 409 PM CDT FRI JUL 19 2019  
  
MAIN CONCERN TODAY CONTINUES TO BE THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS   
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, ALONG WITH DANGEROUS HEAT AND HUMIDITY   
PEAKING THIS AFTERNOON.  
  
ONE OF THE MORE IMPRESSIVE PARAMETER SPACES YOU'LL SEE IN JULY EXISTS   
OVER MUCH OF MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON, BUT SO FAR STORMS HAVE   
DEVELOPED ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS ENVIRONMENT AND HAVE   
BEEN UNABLE TO BECOME SURFACE-BASED AND TAP INTO THIS MORE-   
FAVORABLE AIR. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 90S ALONG WITH DEWPOINTS   
AROUND 80 EXIST PRIMARILY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-94 ACROSS MN AND   
WI, WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE NORTH WHERE CLOUD COVER FROM   
CONVECTION THIS MORNING HAS LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF WARMING SO FAR.   
SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS EXTREME INSTABILITY ACROSS SOUTHERN AND   
CENTRAL MINNESOTA WITH MLCAPE OF 3000-5000 J/KG, ALONG WITH   
SPRING-LIKE EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 40-60 KTS THANKS TO AN   
ANOMALOUSLY STRONG SUMMER JETSTREAK OF 130+ KTS CENTERED OVER   
MANITOBA. THESE PARAMETERS EASILY SUPPORT SUPERCELLS AND WE'RE   
ALREADY SEEING A FEW ALREADY TODAY ALONG AND NORTH OF AN   
ORTONVILLE TO MORA LINE. SO FAR, THESE SUPERCELLS HAVE REMAINED   
ELEVATED IN THE MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENT TO THE NORTH AND HAVE THUS  
ONLY CARRIED A LARGE HAIL THREAT, WITH SEVERAL REPORTS OF GOLF-   
BALL SIZED OR LARGER HAIL. SHOULD THESE STORMS BECOME SURFACE-   
BASED AS THEY HEAD EAST ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND INTO   
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN, EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AT THE   
SURFACE ARE CREATING FAVORABLE HODOGRAPHS FOR TORNADOES WITH 0-1   
SRH VALUES OF 150-250 M2/S2 AND 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR VECTORS OF 15-20  
KTS BOTH SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG AND LONG TRACK TORNADOES. IN   
ADDITION TO THIS TORNADO THREAT, VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING   
DOWNBURST WINDS WILL ALSO BE PRESENT WITH ANY SUPERCELLS THIS   
AFTERNOON/EVENING. FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT   
REMAINS UNCERTAIN OWING TO A VERY STRONG CAP IN PLACE AT 700 MB.   
OUR 18Z SUPPLEMENTAL SOUNDING SHOWED 700 MB TEMPERATURES OF 14.1 C  
WHICH WOULD NORMALLY WOULD EASILY BE WARM ENOUGH TO SUPPRESS   
CONVECTION FROM FORMING. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE EXTREME INSTABILITY AT  
THE SURFACE AND A STATIONARY SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA, A   
CONDITIONAL (YET SMALL) THREAT FOR SUPERCELLS DOES EXIST FROM   
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO WEST-CENTRAL   
WISCONSIN.

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WI  
  
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY   
  
VALID 192215Z - 192345Z  
  
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT  
  
SUMMARY...SUPERCELLS WILL TRANSITION INTO BOWING SEGMENTS LATE THIS  
AFTERNOON. EXPECT INTENSE BOW TO TRACK SOUTHEAST ACROSS PARTS OF  
NORTHERN/CENTRAL WI THIS EVENING AND A DOWNSTREAM WATCH WILL BE  
NEEDED SOON.  
  
DISCUSSION...EARLIER DISCRETE SUPERCELLS ACROSS NORTHERN/CENTRAL MN  
HAVE BEGUN TO TRANSITION INTO BOWING CLUSTERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON.  
VISIBLE SATELLITE PRESENTATION HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE OVER THE LAST  
HOUR OR SO, WITH EXTREME INSTABILITY APPARENT IN THICK HCR/CLOUD  
STREET CU FIELD STREAMING INTO ONGOING CONVECTION. PRESSURE FALLS TO  
THE SOUTHEAST OF ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS WEST-CENTRAL WI OVER THE  
LAST COUPLE OF HOURS HAVE RESULTED IN INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY LOW  
LEVEL INFLOW AND CONVECTION HAS STARTED DEVELOPING INTO THIS INFLOW.  
2-6 KM LAPSE RATES GREATER THAN 8 C/KM ARE AIDING IN LARGE HAIL  
POTENTIAL AND SEVERAL REPORTS OF 2+ INCH HAIL HAVE ALREADY BEEN  
REPORTED. THIS HAIL THREAT MAY CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS,  
BUT AS STORMS CONTINUE TO TRANSITION FROM SUPERCELLS INTO A BOW  
ECHO, THE HAIL THREAT WILL DIMINISH SOME WITH AN INCREASING THREAT  
FOR DAMAGING WINDS. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY WITH UPPER 70S  
TO LOW 80S SURFACE DEWPOINTS AND A 40-50 KT INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY  
LOW LEVEL JET THIS EVENING, SOME WIND GUSTS COULD BE SIGNIFICANT  
(POSSIBLY EVEN GREATER THAN 80 MPH).   
  
IN ADDITION TO INTENSE WIND POTENTIAL, QLCS TORNADOES THROUGH  
MESOVORTEX PROCESSES ALSO WILL BE POSSIBLE. REGION VWP WIND PROFILES  
SHOW ENHANCED VERTICALLY VEERING PROFILES WITH MESOANALYSIS  
INDICATING A LARGE AREA OF EFFECTIVE SRH GREATER THAN 250 M2/S2  
ACROSS THE REGION. LATEST STORM TRACK BRINGS THE LEAD  
SUPERCELL/BOWING SEGMENTS ACROSS SAWYER COUNTY WI TO THE EDGE OF WW  
524 BY 23Z AND A DOWNSTREAM WATCH WILL BE NEED ACROSS PARTS OF

The very rare PDS T-storm watch..

why so very rare? I think some forecasters would just make this a tornado watch (says likely tornadoes)...others this extremely strongly worded blue box...

 

 

 

RGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED  
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 525  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
550 PM CDT FRI JUL 19 2019

I hope this doesn't turn southeast once it gets here, we have been absolutely slammed since I came into work. Over 1.50" of rain 2 instances of hail 3/4" each time, and a new severe warning to my north moving SE at 20 with more wind and hail.

That’s the highest wind speed I’ve ever seen listed for an SPC watch. Saw on twitter the only other instance we could find was May 31, 1998.

That one came barreling through at night here as well, even though I don't personally remember it (for you folks in Madison too).

Absolutely amazing PDS svr storm watch....but I worry that it will turn more se than progged and move to Madison and Milwaukee then possibly down the lake as occasionally happens rather than moving east to Green Bay.  Will have to watch that western most cell in the developing line which seems to be moving more southward.

The strong se component to the storms would seem to favor a track maybe in the Milwaukee grand rapids corridor. I know the models that have been showing the bow racing east across the southern up and northern lower are going to be completely off

I have seen many 90's....don't recall a 105 or even 100

I wonder why they went with 105 anyway?  rather the a nice even  number like 100

they did hint in the 1630 and 2000 dicsussions about saying straight up a derecho threat. so, with the reports we're getting and the environment we're dealing with, this seems right if you're emphasizing a derecho with potential spinups on the front edge compared to supercells that could also gust quite high. I think it's appropriate wording for the threat.
