   Areas affected...Parts of southeast MN into western/central WI

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 421...

   Valid 301254Z - 301430Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 421
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Some severe threat may continue into mid morning.

   DISCUSSION...An earlier storm cluster that produced severe wind
   gusts across southwest MN has mostly dissipated, though a remnant
   wake low continues to produce gusty winds this morning. Farther
   east, some uptick in storm coverage and intensity has been noted
   near/north of La Crosse, WI. Large buoyancy (MUCAPE of 2500-4000
   J/kg) and sufficient deep-layer shear will continue to conditionally
   support organized convection, and generally elevated convection may
   continue to pose a threat of isolated hail and strong/damaging gusts
   in the short term. 

   Storm evolution later this morning remains uncertain. A convectively
   augmented midlevel shortwave trough may help to sustain convection
   within the favorable environment, and maintain a severe threat.
   However, the threat may remain isolated until renewed diurnal
   development occurs later today. As a result, the need for downstream
   watch issuance in the short term is uncertain, but trends will be
   monitored for any uptick in storm coverage and organization through
   the morning.
