   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Central Minnesota
     Northeast South Dakota
     Northwest Wisconsin

   * Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 625 PM
     until 100 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
       inches in diameter possible
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

   SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to
   continue to develop and move east-southeast through the evening. 
   Supercells capable of large to very large hail (diameter 1 to 2.5
   inches) and severe gusts (60-70 mph) will be the primary storm mode
   through the early evening.  Upscale growth into a linear cluster may
   occur later this evening with severe gusts possibly becoming the
   main hazard.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
   statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles northwest of
   Ortonville MN to 80 miles northeast of Minneapolis MN. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A

Please visit the National Weather Service NWS Public Alerts for more information on the warnings.

For each watch, probabilities for particular events inside the watch (listed above in each table) are determined by the issuing forecaster. The "Low" category contains probability values ranging from less than 2% to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities), "Moderate" from 30% to 60%, and "High" from 70% to greater than 95%. High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of an increased threat for a particular event.
