Areas affected...south-central into east-central Minnesota

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 021626Z - 021800Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A wind threat is increasing across southern Minnesota,
east-central Minnesota, and far western Wisconsin into the early
afternoon.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms has developed on the nose of a
500mb jet streak across southern Minnesota, driven by strong
elevated instability (2000-3000 J/kg MUCAPE per SPC mesoanalysis).
While this cluster does not look overly intense at this time, it
does have some bowing element to it. The downstream environment
remains unstable and some heating across central and east-central
Minnesota may lead to increasing surface based instability.
Therefore, this cluster may pose some wind threat as it moves
northeast into the early afternoon.
