   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 405
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A localized tornado threat is evolving over portions of
   central/eastern Minnesota. The area is being considered for a small
   tornado watch.

   DISCUSSION...Following several splitting supercells along a surface
   trough/wind shift over central/eastern MN, latest radar data shows
   dominant right-moving thunderstorms taking shape. This evolution is
   being aided by an increasingly large, clockwise-turning low-level
   hodograph (around 300 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH per MPX VWP). Given this
   hodograph and favorable low-level moisture in place downstream of
   the intensifying storms, a localized tornado risk is possible for
   the next couple hours. The area is being considered for a small
   tornado watch.
