MPR weather live blog: Tracking strong to severe storms overnight
Downpours, high winds, hail all possible.
The tropical atmosphere over Minnesota is favorable for brewing and sustaining some big storms through Friday.
The first wave moves from northwest Minnesota Thursday evening, through the central Minnesota lakes area. Storms may begin to lose some intensity overnight, but could hold together long enough to blow into the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota around or after midnight Friday morning.
NOAA’s NAM 3 km resolution model has been persistent in driving a possible severe bow echo through much of northern and central Minnesota, then toward the Twin Cities around or after midnight Friday morning.
