Areas affected...Twin Cities Vicinity
Concerning...Tornado Watch 251...
Valid 151842Z - 151945Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 251 continues.
SUMMARY...A mesoscale corridor of greater tornado potential is
evident near the Twin Cities. Tornado potential, perhaps strong,
will be focused here over the next 1-2 hours.
DISCUSSION...A broken line of supercells south of the Twin Cities is
expected to continue northward. Low-level thermodynamics ahead of
these storms continues to improve this afternoon with temperatures
nearing 80 F. Given the backed surface winds, these supercells will
have locally greater potential to produce a tornado. The VAD from
KMPX has shown increasing 0-1 km SRH and objective mesoanalysis
shows STP greater than 2. Mid-level lapse rates are also very steep
per the 18Z MPX sounding. A strong tornado would be possible in this environment.
