   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 420
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A small cluster of strong/severe storms continues across
   north-central Minnesota, where severe weather remains a threat.

   DISCUSSION...A small cluster of strong to severe storms is moving
   across north-central Minnesota at this time, in tandem with an
   eastward-moving MCV.  The storms are occurring on the northern
   fringe of a zone of moderate instability, where veering/increasing
   flow with height is supporting storm organization/rotation.

   One storm in particular -- now moving eastward across southern
   Hubbard County at around 20 kt -- has shown recent radar indications
   of updraft rotation.  The storms -- and associated severe risk --
   will continue over the next couple of hours, particularly across the
   northern half of WW 420.  A more stable airmass exists with eastward
   extent, and particularly east of the Mississippi Valley, which --
   combined with gradual diurnal cooling -- should eventually lead to a
   gradual decrease in convective intensity.
