   Areas affected...eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 267...

   Valid 072255Z - 080100Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 267 continues.

   SUMMARY...Ongoing and developing supercells are moving
   north-northeast across eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.
   All severe threats remain possible and it appears the tornado threat
   is increasing.

   DISCUSSION...Enhanced surface convergence near north-to-south
   oriented surface troughing and an outflow boundary are helping to
   initiate supercells in far eastern North Dakota and northwest
   Minnesota. Storms are beginning to exhibit stronger rotation and
   low-level shear is most favorable where the supercells are currently
   developing near the outflow boundary and towards the warm front
   draped northwest to southeast across northwest Minnesota. This
   corridor of enhanced low-level helicity (200-400 m2/s2 per
   mesoanalysis) will likely be a focus for tornadic supercell
   development. Given the strong deep layer shear and large
   instability, large hail and damaging winds will also be likely with
   any storm development.
