   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 593
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated thunderstorms may pose a risk for marginally
   severe hail and strong gusts for another hour or two across southern
   MN. Storm intensity should gradually wane with southward extent.

   DISCUSSION...An isolated cell on the western flank of the southward
   progressing cluster over southern MN may continue to pose a risk for
   marginally severe hail and strong gusts in the short term. However,
   convection has gradually been weakening over the past hour or so as
   inhibition increases and instability decreases with southward
   extent. Outflow from convection further to the east has also been
   progressing westward across southeast MN, further limiting the warm
   sector airmass. Given trends, a downstream watch is not expected.
