Areas affected...far eastern ND into northwest MN

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 577...

Valid 080931Z - 081100Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 577
continues.

SUMMARY...Strong to severe wind gusts remain possible the next
couple hours across northwest Minnesota. A gradual weakening trend
is expected through early morning with south and east extent across northeast/central Minnesota.

DISCUSSION...A well organized bow echo moving out of eastern ND into
northwest MN has produced gusts in the 55-80 kt range over the past
1-2 hours, and perhaps a brief tornado west of Grand Forks within
leading-edge mesovortices. The VWP from KMVX shows a strong
rear-inflow signature of 70-80 kt in the 1-2 km range.=20

Severe gusts will likely persist another couple of hours into
northwest MN given the well-organized nature of the bow echo and a
favorable CAPE/shear downstream environment. With south and eastward
extent, instability decreases and increasing inhibition should
result in a gradual weakening trend into central and northeast MN
through early morning. A local expansion of WW 577 may be needed
across northwest MN/the remainder of the Grand Forks CWA. However,
the need for a downstream watch is uncertain and will depend on
convective trends over the next hour or so.
