.UPDATE...CONVECTION IS FIRING UP ON THE SOUTHWEST...NORTHWEST AND
NORTHEAST SIDES OF THE SURFACE LOW IN WEST CENTRAL MN WITH SEVERAL
STRONG SHORTWAVES EXPECTED TO PASS OVER. TORNADO WATCH AREA IS
WHERE THE MOST INSTABILITY IS AND IS INCREASING. CLEAR SKIES
EARLY AND INITIALLY WARM CONDITIONS NEAR THE LOW HAS INCREASED THE
CONCERN FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLE TORNADOES.
CONVERGENT BOUNDARY ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE LOW IS SETTING UP
WITH INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SO MOVED THE
HIGHEST AMOUNT OF RAIN EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON FARTHER SOUTH...
MAINLY TO NORTH OF VALLEY CITY TO GFK AND ROX. WILL LEAVE THE
FLOOD WATCH SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTHWEST INTO DVL AND HCO MAINLY OUT
OF CAUTION SINCE THEY HAVE RESPECTABLE SHOWERS TOO. BUT WE MAY BE
ABLE TO CANCEL THAT FLOOD WATCH A BIT EARLY. WIND ADVISORY IS
ONGOING TOO FOR WEST OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY AND THE RESPONSIBLE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS MOVING INTO THE ADVISORY AREA. WILL
HAVE TO WATCH THIS FOR A POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE ADVISORY
