    Areas affected...West-central/southwest MN...Eastern SD

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 156...

    Valid 060748Z - 060915Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 156
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong wind gusts and isolated hail will remain possible
    across west-central/southwest MN and east-central SD for the next
    few hours

    DISCUSSION...Organized MCS continues to track southeastward through west-central MN and east-central SD. Estimated motion on the
    northern portion of this convective system is southeastward (i.e.
    from about 300 degrees) at 40-45 kt, which is a bit faster than the
    southern end. Strong wind gusts (i.e. around 35 kt) have been
    measured across west-central MN. Despite the decrease in
    instability, updraft strength has remained fairly strong within the
    northern portion of the line, which is a testament to its
    well-organized structure. However, the downstream airmass will
    become increasingly hostile to convective and the general
    expectation is for a downward trend in intensity to begin soon.

    Updraft strength within the southern portion of the line over
    east-central SD has actually increased over the past hour as it has transitioned from an easterly storm motion to more northeasterly
    motion. Additionally, the strong pressure fall/rise/fall pattern
    noted in the surface observations is contributing to strong wind
    gusts well behind the leading edge of the line. Earlier this evening
    PIR gusts over 50 kt for about an hour and HON recently gusted to 64
    kt. Airmass downstream across southwestern MN is a bit more unstable
    than areas farther north but strong convective inhibition is still
    expected to result in gradually diminishing storm strength.

    Even with the expectation for the line to begin weakening, damaging
    wind gusts and isolated hail will still be possible for the next few
    hours across both west-central MN and east-central NE/southwest MN.
