   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 394...396...

   Valid 210016Z - 210145Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 394, 396
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Storms should continue with more eastward progression
   likely in the next few hours. Storm from the south will eventually
   merge with activity in west-central Minnesota. Greater near-term
   wind threat exists with linear segment currently within Norman/Clay
   Counties (MN).

   DISCUSSION...Surface pressure falls over the last two hours are
   increasing in Minnesota as the mid-level speed max continues to move
   through central South Dakota. This should mean the cold front will
   begin to make more progress to the east. Furthermore, convection in
   central Minnesota is increasing in intensity as it moves into
   greater low-level moisture in northern Minnesota. That cluster of
   storms should eventually merge with a small bowing segment within
   west-central Minnesota. The bowing segment has had a history of
   measured severe gusts as it move through the Fargo vicinity and will
   continue to pose the greatest wind-damage threat in the near term.
