   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE UPPER
   MIDWEST AND MID MISSOURI VALLEY REGION...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms remain possible through late evening across the
   Upper Midwest and Middle Missouri Valley. The primary risks are hail
   and wind.

   ...Upper Midwest/Middle Missouri Valley...

   Leading edge of stronger large-scale forcing for ascent is spreading
   across MN/western IA/eastern NE. Convection is increasing along the
   frontal zone in response to this forcing with several line segments
   now evident from western MN into eastern NE. 00z soundings ahead of
   the front (MPX, OAX, TOP) exhibit substantial inhibition, thus
   robust convection should hold close to the surging cold front.
   Damaging winds and some hail can be expected as the frontal squall
   line progresses eastward this evening. Have adjusted severe
   probabilities down along the cool side of the boundary.
