Valid 112100Z - 112300Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 627 continues. SUMMARY...The severe weather threat is increasing across WW 627. Damaging wind gusts and large hail are possible. DISCUSSION...Multiple strong/severe thunderstorms are ongoing across the northern periphery of WW 627. Several wind events have been reported -- including a measured 76 mph gust at in Kanabec County (KJMR) -- as well as hailstones up to 2" in diameter. These storms have evolved along/just ahead of a cold front and maintained semi-discrete/supercellular structures for the last couple of hours. Additional convection initiation is now underway to the southwest of these damaging storms. The downstream environment is characterized by MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg and bulk shear around 50 kts. With long and straight northwesterly hodographs (currently observed at KMPX), this environment will be favorable for splitting supercell structures capable of producing severe hail and wind gusts. Both of these risks should maximize over the Twin Cities metro and the southeastern vicinity this afternoon. Thereafter, a gradual transition to a primarily wind threat is expected this evening as the system congeals along the cold front. ...Flournoy.. 08/11/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_XurEbYjcK-uBlPDmg_XaX_wCcYjLf1NGWdn7qRh4LhBgl0s3A7HwpuRbkTyAwy-AsvNVxDKs= YGFO2VZxfGE7iAVD1c$ for graphic product...
