Valid 222252Z - 230045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 451 continues. SUMMARY...The tornado threat is likely increasing across northern Minnesota as thunderstorms develop within a favorable environment. DISCUSSION...GOES visible and IR imagery show steady vertical growth of convection across north-central MN along and north of a warm front and to the west ahead of a cold front. Based on recent RAP forecast soundings, areas that have temperatures in the mid 70s or higher will likely support surface-based convection within the warm frontal zone where backed low-level winds are yielding effective SRH on the order of 200-250 m2/s2. Increasing low to mid-level ascent associated with the approach of an upstream perturbation and within the warm advection regime should promote continued storm maturation and coverage over the next couple of hours. Given that the number of candidate storms appears to be increasing within this narrow, but very favorable environment (best characterized by STP values between 3-5), the potential for tornadoes - including strong tornadoes - may increase in the coming hours if one or more mature supercells can maintain sufficient residence time within this corridor. ...Moore.. 06/22/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7_vIfe6MWAsm-jNoH54pNk2Mk0CZKiiY8J3-s4H93j8lAQShv95yduPRQ6kEnOdgpIku5o0JL= z424AXJ2VvwEWz93OA$ for graphic product...
