Dropping dew points Monday behind the storms

Thunderstorms rolled across much of Minnesota Sunday night ahead of a cool front and strong upper level low. A brief tornado was spotted near Prinsburg in Kandiyohi county. It was the second round of storms after Saturday night’s storms knocked down trees in parts of the southeast metro. EF-0 tornadoes were confirmed by the National Weather Service to have struck the Burnsville, Apple Valley, Eagan, West St. Paul areas as well as southern Ramsey county in St. Paul with maximum winds of 75 mph.
