Monday’s enhanced severe weather risk delivered as predicted across Minnesota.

This is just one of multiple tornadoes were sighted around Minnesota Monday. 

It will take time to sort through the preliminary reports as many may be multiple sightings of the same tornado. Here’s is a preliminary list from NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center.

Golf ball to baseball sized hail fell from this rotating supercell near Waconia. 

It will take some time to asses but this looks like one of the most active severe weather days in Minnesota in recent years.

The rest of this week features fewer showers and storms and more typical summerlike weather. The next low pressure wave will track further south keeping most of the heavier storms across Iowa the next few days.

Highs this week will run mostly in the 70s north to 80s south. 

Enjoy the quieter weather. I know I will.
