Numerous outflow boundaries from overnight convection re-fired across southwest Minnesota around mid afternoon as diurnal heating weakened the cap and increased MLCAPE to around 2000 J/kg. The leading edge of larger-scale lift began to move in late afternoon with jet streak punching toward central Nebraska ahead of a deep western U.S. trough, but overall deep-layer shear remained quite weak with right-moving and mean storm motion vector magnitudes at 10 knots or less northwest Iowa.
