Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 468...

Valid 070334Z - 070500Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 468
continues.

SUMMARY...The threat for strong to locally severe gusts capable of
wind damage will continue into the early overnight.  Peak gusts
50-65 mph are possible with the stronger surges and inflections
within the squall line.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a mature squall line extending from
northeast SD east-northeastward across central MN late this evening.
Despite gradual nocturnal cooling, the boundary layer remains
supportive of stronger downdrafts penetrating through increased
SBCINH.  The deeper thunderstorm cores will preferentially favor the
western 1/2 to 1/3 of the squall line where both the lead gust front
and parent updrafts have not become substantially displaced, and in
closer proximity to higher theta-e.  As a result, the strong to
locally severe wind threat will favor the western half of of the
Watch over the next couple of hours but perhaps also extend farther
east where small-scale bowing segments have matured.
