   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Central and Northeast Minnesota
     Far Southeast North Dakota
     Northeast South Dakota

   SUMMARY...Storms are expected to develop through late
   afternoon/early evening near a weak surface low/nearby cold front,
   and increase/move along an eastward-extending warm front/modifying
   outflow boundary. Initial supercells capable of severe hail/wind are
   expected, and a tornado risk cannot be ruled out, particularly near
   the warm front/outflow boundary.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 135
   statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles north northeast
   of Hibbing MN to 65 miles southwest of Saint Cloud MN. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

Please visit the National Weather Service Interactive Weather Information Network (IWIN) for more information on the warnings.

For each watch, probabilities for particular events inside the watch (listed above in each table) are determined by the issuing forecaster. The "Low" category contains probability values ranging from less than 2% to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities), "Moderate" from 30% to 60%, and "High" from 70% to greater than 95%. High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of an increased threat for a particular event.
