   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 462...

   Valid 281159Z - 281330Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 462
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Gusty winds may accompany thunderstorms across the MCD
   area this morning, but overall severe potential has diminished.

   DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms has mostly moved out of WW 462
   this morning, and stretches from west-central WI into southeast MN
   and far north-central IA. Overall, instability decreases with east
   and south extent and substantial boundary layer inhibition is
   present. The strongest portion of the line will move across parts of
   northern IA over the next couple of hours. A modest southwesterly
   low level jet of around 25-30 kt remains over this area. Some gusty
   winds are possible with this activity, but overall weak instability
   and low level inhibition will limit severe potential. As a result,
   WW 462 could be cancelled before the 14z expiration time, and a
   downstream watch is not expected.
