   Concerning...Tornado Watch 600...

   Valid 052359Z - 060100Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 600 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornado risk continues within WW600. Localized damaging
   wind threat may increase in the next hour.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells is currently moving
   southeastward across portions of southern MN. These cells have a
   history of producing tornadoes and large hail (up to 1.5 inches in
   diameter). The risk for tornadoes will continue in the short term
   with these cells, with MPX VAD indicating 0-3 km SRH 430 m2/s2.
   These cells are also producing very heavy precipitation, with the
   potential for evaporative cooling and strong outflow winds
   increasing as cells evolve into a more linear mode. Isolated
   damaging gusts 65-80 mph are possible.
