Goes-16 water vapor satellite loop from Monday, April 1, 2019.
A vigorous trough is digging southeast out of northern Saskatchewan province this Monday afternoon. This feature will head into the Northland Tuesday and will be accompanied by a cold front.
Some forcing will occur as the trough and cold front approaches which will help produce scattered showers across the area especially during the afternoon/early evening hours.
There will be some weak instability that develops during the afternoon hours in eastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin with CAPE to around 200 J/kg along with steepening mid level lapse rates to 7.0-8.0 c/km, this could be enough to develop a few thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon with potential for some small hail due to colder temperatures aloft.
