Update 8:10pm:
A broken line of strong to severe storms continues to rumble through central Minnesota this evening.
MPX issues Tornado Warning for Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs [MN] till 9:00 PM CDT ...* AT 817 PM CDT...RADAR INDICATED A STORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO. THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE STORM WAS NEAR BOCK...OR ABOUT 7 MILES NORTHEAST OF PEASE...AND MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 25 MPH.
So far there have been few reports of actual severe weather, and no damage reports have come in to the weather lab so far.
Expect storms to continue to move slowly southeast and scattered storms may move into the metro after around 11pm tonight.
There may be more warnings triggered, but so far with few actual severe weather reports I'm encouraged we may escape widespread severe weather in the metro. Still, expect the possibility of some good old fashioned boomers with heavy rain, a lightning show and possible gusty winds and some hail in the metro through the midnight hour.
