Severe weather threat: Breaking down risk levels from marginal to high
With April and severe weather season on the horizon in Minnesota, understanding the national Storm Prediction Center’s severe weather risk levels can make all the difference, from isolated storms to high-risk outbreaks. Let’s break down each risk level and what it means for you.
Warm Monday with an active week of weather ahead
The week starts warm Monday but then things get active. We’re watching three different storm systems that will bring chances of rain, thunder and snow this week.
Spring heat builds before stormy turn
Minnesota will be split in two to start the week, as a nearly stationary front separates warm air from cooler conditions north while bringing increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms.
Warm surge ahead of slow-moving front
Spring weather settles in Sunday into Monday with lighter winds and warming temperatures, but a nearly stalled front will bring increasing chances for precipitation and possible thunderstorms by Monday.
