This spring NOAA's National Weather Service Office in Chanhassen enhanced the radar imagery to define the details of storms on the Doppler radar. This high resolution upgrade assists in examining storm structure for signatures that relate to storm severity.
Having been retired from NOAA for nearly two years, I am not in a position to determine whether this has benefited the storm warning decision making or hyped the warning process. Regardless, the radar imagery available on the internet allows for Monday-morning quarterbacks to play along from home.
While the severe weather threat may be slim in the next forty-eight hours, we see a potential for a generous early autumn rainfall for parts of Minnesota. If the weather system stalls, even the Twin Cities metro area may receive a much needed soaking.
