   0804 PM CDT Sat Jul 04 2020

   Areas affected...Northwest Minnesota to far northeast South Dakota.

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 328...

   Valid 050104Z - 050300Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 328
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The main threat areas for severe hail and wind will likely
   be confined to northwest Minnesota over the next one to two hours.
   Severe hail and winds will be the primary threats.

   DISCUSSION...Recent radar trends show continued convective
   development along a diffuse trough axis and along convective outflow
   boundaries across far northwest Minnesota. Although these storms
   remain in a favorable instability/shear parameter space, storm
   interactions are limiting the overall severe threat and intensity of
   any one storm. This trend will likely continue for the near term as
   RAP forecast soundings show a nearly straight hodograph below 5 km,
   favoring storm splits across this region. However, recent forecasts
   suggest that a slight strengthening in the low-level jet between
   01-03 UTC could augment deep layer shear and allow the threat for
   hail and wind to persist into the late evening.
