An unprecedented supercell developed over Lake Minnetonka. Nearly forming a tornado near Mound, MN. Drifting ESE with large hail and torrential downpours. Microburst potential for Bloomington and Richfield that could create aggressive lift for storms to initiate north. #mnwx

A potent MCS is rolling east towards Pierre and BLUNT, SD. This cluster will likely blast through the Twin Cities as a QLCS at 6 am. Tornado potential is heightened for the next 4 hours before the complex becomes outflow dominant near Olivia, MN. #mnwx #sdwx #wiwx

Heads up Winona, MN and La Crosse, WI- two separate mesocyclones appear to be recycling as a QLCS accelerating south. 65 mph winds and marginally severe hail. Flash flooding, with 2"-4" possible with this first major wave. #mnwx #wiwx

Damaging wind shooting NE, directly towards Bowdle, SD. Pea sized hail and 65 mph possible! Heads up Hosmer, luckily it will likely be only marginally severe at most by then. #sdwx

Textbook examples of Purple Martins creating an intense roost ring that is easily picked up by radar. A city worth of birds leaving the party after the cops arrive essentially. #ilwx #inwx #mowx

Take cover Pettibone, ND. A tornado is likely forming on the lead edge of this massive line of storms. This is a remarkably strong QLCS signature. Heading east at 50+ mph. #ndwx #mnwx

~110 mph winds picked up by Bismark's radar at 4200 ft. Take cover, especially north of I-94. #NDwx #MNwx.

As the threat in the Twin Cities quickly transitions from damaging winds to urban flooding, expect aggressive cloud to ground lightning. Take cover Owatonna, MN. Dangerous straight line winds one the way. #mnwx

A bowing segment of thunderstorms has developed across northwestern Iowa this evening, and will continue developing over the next couple of hours. Widespread damaging winds are expected from this surging bowing segment, with significant gusts in excess of 85 mph possible. #IAwx…

We are seeing very heavy rainfall in the Twin Cities metro, leading to urban flooding in areas. Stay aware of flooding if traveling tonight, and remember to turn around if needed! #mnwx

A fast moving outflow boundary is beginning to interact with the unorganized MCS in west central MN. Faster ESE movement will make it more efficient and strengthen as a QLCS. ETA for Twin Cities is just after 930pm. West suburbs having highest risk. #mnwx

A deepening northern pocket of instability will pave the way for future upscale growth from the ongoing convection in SD. Chances for another powerful MCS around sunset for the Twin Cities is rising. #mnwx
