    Areas affected...Parts of extreme northeast IA...southeast
    MN...southwest WI

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 463...

    Valid 261943Z - 262115Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 463 continues.

    SUMMARY...Both an eastward-moving convective line and developing
    cells ahead of the line could pose a tornado threat this afternoon.
    Localized damaging wind is also possible.

    DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms has developed from southeast MN
    into north-central IA, with additional cells gradually developing
    east of the line into parts of southwest WI. MLCAPE has increased
    into the 1000-1500 J/kg along and immediately north of the warm
    front, with a more stable environment farther north, where clouds
    have persisted and temperatures are in the 60s F.=20

    The broken line moving across far southeast MN earlier produced a
    reported tornado in Freeborn County, and this portion of the line
    will continue to pose a tornado threat as it traverses the warm
    frontal zone, where low-level shear/SRH is locally enhanced (as
    noted in the KARX VWP). The developing cells east of the line could
    also begin to pose a tornado threat, especially if one or more of
    these cells can mature and take on more of a front-parallel motion,
    leading to increased residence time in the frontal zone. Cell
    mergers into the primary line could also result in locally increased
    tornado potential.=20

    Aside from the tornado potential, locally damaging wind will
    continue to be possible with the primary convective line as it moves
    eastward this afternoon.
