   Areas affected...Southeast Minnesota...western/central Wisconsin

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 181...

   Valid 282306Z - 290030Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 181 continues.

   SUMMARY...Organized severe thunderstorms will spread across
   southeast Minnesota into western/central Wisconsin later this
   evening. Tornado threat continues, but damaging winds may also
   become more common.

   DISCUSSION...Northeast-southwest band of thunderstorms, roughly 175
   mi in length, has developed across southeast MN into northern IA. A
   few supercells are embedded along this corridor, but some propensity
   for an upward-evolving linear MCS may be under way. Latest radar
   trends suggest this developing MCS should track across much of
   southeast MN into western WI later this evening and a new tornado
   watch will likely be warranted downstream as this transpires.
