AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHERN MINNESOTA
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 451...
VALID 230118Z - 230315Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 451 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A TORNADO THREAT WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS
STORMS MOVE ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER IN
NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA.
DISCUSSION...OVER THE PAST HOUR, A SUPERCELL OVER NORTH-CENTRAL MN
HAS REACHED SUFFICIENT INTENSITY TO DEVELOP A PERSISTENT MESOCYCLONE
WITH AT LEAST ONE TORNADO RECENTLY REPORTED. TO ITS IMMEDIATE SOUTH,
ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE TOWERS CONTINUE TO PERCOLATE, THOUGH HAVE NOT
YET REACHED SUFFICIENT INTENSITY TO POSE A ROBUST SEVERE THREAT.
HOWEVER, RECENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS HAVE SHOWN A NORTHWARD
EXPANSION OF THE WARM SECTOR OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS
DOWNSTREAM FROM THIS ACTIVITY. THIS WILL MAXIMIZE STORM RESIDENCE
TIME WITHIN A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUPERCELLULAR
TORNADOES. A MODEST INCREASE IN THE LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW HAS ALSO BOLSTERED EFFECTIVE SRH
SLIGHTLY, WHICH WILL ALSO HELP MAINTAIN THE TORNADO THREAT. ALTHOUGH
STORM COVERAGE WITHIN THIS ENVIRONMENT REMAINS UNCERTAIN - GOES
IMAGERY SHOWS SHALLOW CONVECTIVE TOWERS STRUGGLING TO OVERCOME
RESIDUAL CAPPING WITHIN THE OPEN WARM SECTOR - ANY CELLS THAT CAN
MATURE WILL LIKELY POSE A TORNADO THREAT.
