The dewpoint has remained in the 70s and that provides a lot of fuel for the storms. I indicated earlier that storms were developing in Southwestern Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota. Those storms are continuing to develop and spread Northeastward. Conditions are setting up for some sever weather. This does not mean we will have sever weather but the conditions are ripe for server weather to develop. So keep your eye on the sky.

Here is the watch as issued by the NWS:
