Valid 080931Z - 081100Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 577 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to severe wind gusts remain possible the next couple hours across northwest Minnesota. A gradual weakening trend is expected through early morning with south and east extent across northeast/central Minnesota. DISCUSSION...A well organized bow echo moving out of eastern ND into northwest MN has produced gusts in the 55-80 kt range over the past 1-2 hours, and perhaps a brief tornado west of Grand Forks within leading-edge mesovortices. The VWP from KMVX shows a strong rear-inflow signature of 70-80 kt in the 1-2 km range.=20 Severe gusts will likely persist another couple of hours into northwest MN given the well-organized nature of the bow echo and a favorable CAPE/shear downstream environment. With south and eastward extent, instability decreases and increasing inhibition should result in a gradual weakening trend into central and northeast MN through early morning. A local expansion of WW 577 may be needed across northwest MN/the remainder of the Grand Forks CWA. However, the need for a downstream watch is uncertain and will depend on convective trends over the next hour or so. ...Leitman.. 08/08/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_XSC96wExphKcDu2VKLksP2ghFczkWcy3-9zPyDvC0raz1DbHFMmMX7uuyOEYeVHOVJF7iVEq= khVvMBHJ5GN0MQaVN4$ for graphic product...
