    Mesoscale Discussion 1041

    Areas affected...Northern MN and extreme northwest WI

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 271...

    Valid 120442Z - 120645Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 271 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe-weather threat continues across the remaining
    portion of tornado watch 271 until 1 AM CDT. A new weather watch
    may be needed, if a fast-moving line of storms evolves from the
    ongoing storms in north-central Minnesota and tracks to the
    east-southeast.

    DISCUSSION...At 0430Z, mosaic radar imagery showed a broken band of
    storms across northern MN, extending from southern Koochiching
    County to Becker County, and moving to the east-southeast at 20-25
    kt. This activity was continuing to become intense at times, given
    the presence of strong instability (MUCAPE up to 3000 J/kg) across
    the warm sector. Although the CAMs suggest damaging winds could
    become the primary severe-weather threat, especially if a
    forward-propagating line can evolve from the ongoing storms, any
    storms interacting with the warm front could produce a tornado.
    However, further increase in surface-based inhibition should limit
    the tornado threat into the overnight.

    Meanwhile, the Operational HRRR, while indicating the current
    presence of storms in north-central MN, suggests this activity will
    weaken during the next 2-3 hours. This scenario is possible, given
    the lack of forcing aloft and strengthening surface-based inhibition
    each limiting upscale growth.
