A big nope. #mnwx

Outflow Boundary Drama Unfolds for the Twin Cities.

A relatively modest amount of instability is making the most of it. There's already a few persistent rotating updrafts that could support hail drifting ESE with the shortwave. Expect upscale growth. Hail and microbursts. #mnwx

Anvils are being blown to the SE, making these thunderheads photogenic as the slowly troll more east. #mnwx

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

A tornado is touching down SW of Clay Center, KS. This semi-discrete supercell is incredibly well organized and likely to continue to be tornadic for the next hour. A dangerous situation unfolding for the county seat. Take cover Morganville. #kswx

A powerful MCS is deepening near Elk Creek, NE with an absurdly strong mesocyclone that is beginning to accelerate ENE towards the Iowa border near Brownsville, NE. #newx #iawx

#mnwx Brief funnel near Fairmont, MN.

Rope tornado on the ground near Fairmont, MN. @NWSTwinCities #mnwx

[NWS Tornado @NWStornado]

Tornado Warning including Truman MN, Lewisville MN and Northrop MN until 7:45 PM CDT

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

A blossoming cluster of storms east of the main MCS is beginning to become tornadic between Sherburn, MN and Northrop, MN . Flowing NNE towards Truman, MN. #MNwx

MONSTER st libary ne

[Sarah Kassabian 🌪️ @wxsarahk]

Just intercepted an absolute MONSTER at close range north of St. Libory east of Hwy 281. Homes destroyed. Checking on folks now

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

@CurryIsMyGOATT We are on the norther end of the QLCS and a few bookend vortices are still a major threat for tornadoes, especially for the SW and S metro. The warming was much more robust than expected due to afternoon clearing! Watch for the notches!

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

The 00z HRRR just printed a potent QLCS nailing the Twin Cities at around 11pm. The timing is still uncertain but the likelihood of widespread damaging winds (70+mph), large hail, and a few tornadoes, especially SW of the Metro. Likely will be upgraded to enhanced risk. #mnwx

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

An extremely wide tornado is touching down NW of Saint Libory heading directly for Palmer, NE. #newx

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

80+ mph possible along the NE/KS Border. A potent QLCS is flowing east! #kswx #newx

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

Monster Supercells absolutely flourishing in southern Nebraska and North Kansas. Echo Tops reaching 60k ft for the tornadic storm north of Beatrice, NE. #kswx #newx

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

Loving these little convective buds lighting up the night sky as they zoom east. Multiple rounds of top shelf b buds. Brief downpour, vibrant lightning that lingers, and soothing thunder. #mnwx

@paulhuttnerwx @NWSTopeka Y'all sent balloons up at 12Z, right?

[Melon @UncannyObserver]

@paulhuttnerwx The lack of soundings is absolutely an issue but I think the post was made before all the stations had reported. This is what I am seeing on the SPC sounding page.
