   Areas affected...portions of central NE...eastern SD and
   west-central MN

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 272...

   Valid 090546Z - 090715Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 272
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 272 expires at 07z. Local
   extensions and/or a new watch may be needed for portions of central
   NE into far eastern SD. Additionally, a new watch may be needed for
   portions of west-central/northern MN depending on short-term trends.

   DISCUSSION...Severe storms continue along a line from western NE
   into north-central NE then northward across eastern SD and from
   west-central MN into northern MN. These storms are mostly occurring
   along a cold front, though some are likely elevated and just to the
   cool side of the front. Nevertheless, shear profiles remain strong
   and favorable for supercells. Additionally, low to mid 60s dewpoints
   and modest midlevel lapse rates will continue to foster 1000-2000
   J/kg MLCAPE. Thus, strong to severe thunderstorms could continue for
   a few more hours, lasting beyond the 07z watch expiration time. Hail
   and 50+ kt gusts will continue to be the main concern with this
   activity.

   Further northeast across MN, radar trends have shown increasing
   thunderstorm activity over the last hour or so near/just ahead of
   the cold front. MRMS MESH has indicated potential for 1.5-2.5 inch
   hail for the last 30 minutes. Additional storms have not been as
   intense, but some potential will exist for hail and locally strong
   gusts.
