Areas affected...Southern MN into northern IA
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 421...
Valid 300904Z - 301030Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 421
continues.
SUMMARY...At least localized severe gusts remain possible through
dawn.
DISCUSSION...Convection associated with a storm cluster over
south-central MN has recently weakened, with CINH tending to weaken
storms along the southern part of the cluster, and more stable
conditions to the north of a frontal boundary constraining
development within the northern part of the cluster. However, strong
to severe gusts continue to be observed, most recently a 52 kt gust
at KJYG in Watonwan County, MN.
Downstream of this cluster, a more favorable environment remains in
place into southeast MN and southwest WI, with MUCAPE of near/above
4000 J/kg and weaker CINH per recent objective mesoanalyses. Even if
the ongoing cluster continues to weaken, some redevelopment and
possible reorganization cannot be ruled out as the primary gust
front/cold pool move into this environment. Some intensification of
trailing convection across northwest IA also remains possible as it
moves east-northeastward through the early morning.
