   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 342...

   Valid 080910Z - 081115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 342
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An isolated wind-damage and hail threat will continue for
   another hour or two in northeastern South Dakota and west-central
   Minnesota. The threat is expected to become too marginal for another
   watch downstream.

   DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a line of strong to
   severe storms across far southeastern North Dakota. This line will
   move quickly eastward across western Minnesota over the next couple
   of hours. This line is located along a northwest-to-southeast
   gradient of moderate instability where the RAP is showing MLCAPE in
   the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range. But instability is weaker across
   west-central Minnesota along the expected track of the MCS. For this
   reason, the wind-damage and hail threat should gradually become
   marginal. Weather watch issuance is not expected to the east of WW
   342.
