Severe (and tornado) risk today:
The next wave of low pressure spinning up has added twisting low level winds to storms today. The threat for tornadoes is there, especially from SE MN into WI.
Source: NOAA/SPC
The best chance for potential tornado spawning T-Storms is between noon and 6pm today, but we can't rule out a tornado this morning in SE MN.
SPC has posted a 10% probability of a tornado within 25 miles of any point from the east metro south & east into WI. That's rare, and a pretty good indicator of how serious the tornado threat is today.
Storms in southern MN are already showing signs of hail strong rotation this morning.
