Areas affected...portions of far southern Minnesota into central
Iowa

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 438...440...

Valid 052349Z - 060115Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 438, 440
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat associated with a bow-echo MCS continues
across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 438, towards western parts of
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 440. Widespread severe gusts remain a
concern and a couple of significant gusts are still possible over
the next couple of hours.

DISCUSSION...A mature derecho-producing MCS continues to translate
across far southern MN into central IA with a recent history of
producing measured severe wind gusts. The 23Z mesoanalysis still
shows a reservoir of extreme instability overspread by 35 kts of
effective bulk shear out ahead of the MCS. The MCS bow remains
north-south oriented and is progressing due east. Since the
deep-layer shear vectors are oriented roughly normal to the MCS, the
ambient CAPE/shear parameter space will continue to support a
bow-echo structure with widespread strong to severe wind gusts.
Given the magnitude of MLCAPE ahead of the MCS and organized nature
of the MCS, a couple of significant severe wind gusts are still
possible into the early evening hours.
