0659 PM CDT Mon Aug 05 2024
Areas affected...southern Minnesota
Concerning...Tornado Watch 600...
Valid 052359Z - 060100Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 600 continues.
SUMMARY...Tornado risk continues within WW600. Localized damaging
wind threat may increase in the next hour.
DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells is currently moving
southeastward across portions of southern MN. These cells have a
history of producing tornadoes and large hail (up to 1.5 inches in
diameter). The risk for tornadoes will continue in the short term
with these cells, with MPX VAD indicating 0-3 km SRH 430 m2/s2.
These cells are also producing very heavy precipitation, with the
potential for evaporative cooling and strong outflow winds
increasing as cells evolve into a more linear mode. Isolated
damaging gusts 65-80 mph are possible.
