    Areas affected...parts of north central into northeastern Minnesota

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 419...

    Valid 300304Z - 300500Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 419 continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for evolving supercells with potential to produce
    tornadoes will continue at least another couple of hours, into and
    through the 11 PM-midnight CDT time frame.

    DISCUSSION...A short wave perturbation now rapidly pivoting
    north-northeastward through the Dakotas is forecast to be
    accompanied by veering mid-level flow and northeastward progression
    of mid-level cooling across the remainder of north central through
    northeastern Minnesota during the next few hours. It appears that
    this will outpace the northeastward retreat of a remnant outflow
    boundary/warm front, which the latest Rapid Refresh suggests will
    weaken into the overnight hours.

    It is not clear that forcing for ascent associated with warm
    advection along this boundary will be strong enough, and/or through
    a deep enough layer, to support a substantive upscale growing
    cluster. However, as convective development remains largely
    discrete, the high boundary-layer moisture content and potential
    near-surface buoyancy along the boundary, could still support the
    risk for tornadoes in evolving supercells for at least a couple more
    hours, before veering flow in lower-levels leads to less conducive
    low-level hodographs.
