Areas affected...southern MN into northern IA and west-central WI

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

Valid 170755Z - 170930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and strong/severe wind gusts 50-65 mph
possible through early morning. A severe thunderstorm watch is being
considered.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms has become better organized
near the southwest MN/northwest IA border over the past hour. This
activity is occurring closer to a surface boundary and on the nose
of a 35 kt southwesterly low-level jet. Sufficient instability,
steep midlevel lapse rates, and effective shear magnitudes greater
than 35 kt will support strong to severe thunderstorms into early
morning. A severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed soon to
address this increasing severe risk.
