Areas affected...Portions of central and eastern Minnesota

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 405...

Valid 122331Z - 130030Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 405
continues.

SUMMARY...A localized tornado threat is evolving over portions of
central/eastern Minnesota. The area is being considered for a small
tornado watch.

DISCUSSION...Following several splitting supercells along a surface
trough/wind shift over central/eastern MN, latest radar data shows
dominant right-moving thunderstorms taking shape. This evolution is
being aided by an increasingly large, clockwise-turning low-level
hodograph (around 300 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH per MPX VWP). Given this
hodograph and favorable low-level moisture in place downstream of
the intensifying storms, a localized tornado risk is possible for
the next couple hours. The area is being considered for a small
tornado watch.
