Looks like a significant outbreak is in store up there starting today. Personally, I'd extend the MDT right up to the Canadian border.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0731 AM CDT THU JUN 17 2010

VALID 171300Z - 181200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER
FAR ERN PARTS OF SD AND NEB...CNTRL AND SRN MN...MUCH OF IA AND WRN
WI...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM PARTS OF THE NRN PLAINS
AND MID MO VALLEY INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE MID MS VALLEY SWD INTO
NRN MS/AL...

...NRN PLAINS AND MID MO VALLEY EWD INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES...

POTENT...NEGATIVELY-TILTED UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED 50-60 KT
MIDLEVEL JET STREAK CURRENTLY PIVOTING NEWD INTO THE NRN HIGH PLAINS
WILL CONTINUE NEWD TODAY WITH SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT FALLS/DYNAMIC
FORCING FOR ASCENT SPREADING ACROSS THE DAKOTAS. ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW OVER WRN SD WILL UNDERGO OCCLUSION WHILE CONCURRENTLY DEVELOPING
NEWD THROUGH CNTRL ND INTO SRN MANITOBA. MEANWHILE...TRAILING COLD
FRONT WILL SURGE EWD ACROSS SD AND NEB INTO MN AND IA BY THIS
EVENING.

FAIRLY WIDESPREAD TSTMS ARE ONGOING THIS MORNING OVER ND WITHIN ZONE
OF DEEP ASCENT TO THE N OF SYNOPTIC WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM WRN SD
LOW SEWD THROUGH SERN SD...ERN NEB INTO CNTRL MO. MUCH OF THIS
ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING
WITH THE THREAT FOR ISOLATED HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS WHILE
MOVING/DEVELOPING NEWD. IN THE WAKE OF THIS INITIAL ACTIVITY...THE
PRESENCE OF A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER /I.E. DEW POINTS IN THE 60S TO
AROUND 70 F/ AND STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A MODERATE TO STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS BY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT. EXPECT MLCAPE TO RANGE FROM 1000-1500 J/KG ALONG
BENT-BACK/OCCLUDED SEGMENT ACROSS ND...TO 2000-3500 J/KG OVER ERN
SD/W-CNTRL AND SWRN MN INTO ERN NEB AND IA.

SURFACE-BASED STORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED BY EARLY/MID AFTERNOON
FROM PORTIONS OF CNTRL/SRN ND SEWD THROUGH ERN SD INTO ERN NEB. A
LARGELY NORMAL ORIENTATION OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR VECTOR TO THE
INITIATING BOUNDARY IS SUGGESTIVE THAT INITIAL STORM MODE WILL BE
DISCRETE/SUPERCELLULAR. EXPECT THE MOST INTENSE STORMS TO OCCUR IN
A CORRIDOR FROM ERN SD/NEB INTO W-CNTRL/SWRN MN AND WRN IA WHERE THE
STRONG INSTABILITY WILL COINCIDE WITH 40-50 KT OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
AND 0-1 KM SRH OF 100-250 M2/S2. ASIDE FROM LARGE...DAMAGING
HAIL...TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE INITIAL STORMS...ONE OR
TWO OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG.

STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO GROW UPSCALE INTO A QUASI-LINEAR MCS THIS
EVENING INTO TONIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR CORRIDORS OF WIND DAMAGE
SPREADING EWD ACROSS MN AND IA INTO WRN WI.

...MID MS VALLEY INTO NRN MS/AL...

LONG RADAR LOOPS INDICATE THAT ONGOING STORMS OVER E-CNTRL MO AND
WRN KY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MCV/S REMNANT FROM UPSTREAM TSTM ACTIVITY
THE PREVIOUS DAY. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT THESE TSTMS
ARE NEAR OR IMMEDIATELY ON THE COOL SIDE OF A QUASI-STATIONARY
BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM CNTRL MO SEWD THROUGH WRN KY INTO NRN TN.
AIR MASS ALONG AND TO THE S OF THIS BOUNDARY IS QUITE MOIST WITH DEW
POINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S F. EARLY VISIBLE SATELLITE
SHOWS THAT STRONG DIABATIC HEATING SHOULD OCCUR ACROSS THE SLIGHT
RISK AREA TODAY...SUPPORTING MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY WITH
MLCAPE OF 2000-3000 J/KG.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT GLANCING INFLUENCE OF WRN-MOST MCV OVER
E-CNTRL MO SHOULD SUSTAIN ONGOING STORMS WITH ACTIVITY GRADUALLY
DEVELOPING SEWD ALONG SURFACE BAROCLINIC ZONE INTO DESTABILIZING
ENVIRONMENT. VERTICAL SHEAR WILL REMAIN RATHER WEAK...THOUGH THE
DEGREE OF INSTABILITY SHOULD PROMOTE CLUSTERS OF STRONGER STORMS
WITH THE PRIMARY HAZARD BEING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

Things about to get exciting here in Albertville.

KARE-11 is reporting that the Wadena County Sheriff Office is saying that a large tornado, possibly a multiple-vortex job, went right through Wadena.

I would not be surprised at all.

Environment Canada hasn't got much at all for southern Manitoba, even if the tornadoes are less than an hour away. There should be a tornado watch in southern Manitoba/parts of NW Ontario (maybe PDS?) - the best dynamics from what I can see are right at the border up to Winnipeg. Once beyond 50N latitude, the atmosphere stabilizes big time.

The amount of tornado reports out there is pretty impressive, certainly the biggest for number for a few weeks now...

The wind numbers are really conservative. 50/30 tornado probs.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 338
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
550 PM CDT THU JUN 17 2010

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

NORTHEAST IOWA
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
WESTERN WISCONSIN

EFFECTIVE THIS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY MORNING FROM 550 PM
UNTIL 100 AM CDT.

TORNADOES...HAIL TO 3 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS TO 70 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE
AREAS.

THE TORNADO WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 75 STATUTE
MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 115 MILES NORTH OF EAU CLAIRE
WISCONSIN TO 60 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST OF MASON CITY IOWA. FOR A
COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE
UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).

REMEMBER...A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
TORNADOES AND 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.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 332...WW 333...WW
334...WW 335...WW 336...WW 337...

DISCUSSION...A FAMILY OF LONG-LIVED SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO TRACK
GENERALLY EAST ALONG A RETREATING WARM FRONT ACROSS ERN MN ATTM.
THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CONFIRMED TORNADOES WITH THIS ACTIVITY AND
EXPECT STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST INTO WRN WI OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. SHARP INSTABILITY GRADIENT DOES EXIST AHEAD OF THE
ONGOING STORMS...ESPECIALLY NORTH AND EAST. HOWEVER...IF AIRMASS CAN
CONTINUE TO RECOVER COINCIDENT WITH THE STORM MOTION...TORNADO
POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY BE MAINTAINED FOR AWHILE LONGER.
A VERY VOLATILE AIRMASS EXISTS TO THE SOUTH AND WEST IS FEEDING THIS
CONVECTION AND AN EXPECTED INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVEL JET WOULD
SUPPORT EVENTUAL EVOLUTION INTO A QUASI-LINEAR MCS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE UPPER MIDWEST WITH TIME. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY SOME OF
THE LATEST HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL DATA. THUS...IN ADDITION TO
TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE HAIL...A DEVELOPING SEVERE WIND EVENT MAY
UNFOLD LATER TONIGHT.

AVIATION...TORNADOES AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL
SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 3 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE
WIND GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO
550. MEAN STORM MOTION VECTOR 24030.
