Mesoscale Discussion 1240
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0716 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022
Areas affected...Parts of central and northern Minnesota
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 394...396...
Valid 210016Z - 210145Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 394, 396
continues.
SUMMARY...Storms should continue with more eastward progression
likely in the next few hours. Storm from the south will eventually
merge with activity in west-central Minnesota. Greater near-term
wind threat exists with linear segment currently within Norman/Clay
Counties (MN).
DISCUSSION...Surface pressure falls over the last two hours are
increasing in Minnesota as the mid-level speed max continues to move
through central South Dakota. This should mean the cold front will
begin to make more progress to the east. Furthermore, convection in
central Minnesota is increasing in intensity as it moves into
greater low-level moisture in northern Minnesota. That cluster of
storms should eventually merge with a small bowing segment within
west-central Minnesota. The bowing segment has had a history of
measured severe gusts as it move through the Fargo vicinity and will
continue to pose the greatest wind-damage threat in the near term.
