I left for Hawaii when it was -20° and returned to 50° and scattered thunderstorms! Not a huge severe risk. Biggest threat from these is cloud-to-ground lightning. But there could be some small hail and gusty wind. | Shawn Cable

A big pattern change is still on track for early next week. Rain moves in Monday, then colder air charges in Tuesday, flipping the rain over to light snow for much of the region. Most places will get light amounts, but northeastern South Dakota and parts of central and northern Minnesota could get a little more, along with some blowing snow as northwest wind gusts Tuesday could push past 40 mph. The real difference will be the temperature drop, with the wind chill dipping into the teens by Wedne

While the main threat with these storms will be straight line wind gusts, sometimes we get circulations on the leading edge of the line of storms that will produce a brief, relatively weak tornado. The warnings are issued based on Doppler radar, because they're almost impossible to see within the line of storms and at night. | Shawn Cable

As of 12:52 a.m. all of the severe t-storm warnings have expired. We could still have an isolated strong to severe storm pop up with damaging wind gusts being the main threat. The other issue is the potential for locally heavy rain that could produce flash flooding. Keep your weather radio on tonight. | Shawn Cable

The heat/humidity is fueling a couple of isolated showers and thundershowers out there this afternoon. Nothing major, nothing severe... Although a couple of these storms will produce cloud to ground lightning. If anything, a brief rain shower might cool things off a little bit. | Shawn Cable

This severe storm near Marshall has the potential to produce quarter hail and 60mph wind gusts. There was a tornado warning on this cell earlier, so there is some rotation. If you are in the vicinity of the storm, stay on top of things for the next hour or so. This cell should begin to weaken after about 8/9pm. | Shawn Cable

There could be a couple of weak, brief landspout tornadoes with this line of thunderstorms north of Brookings. Landspouts are generally less intense than typical tornadoes, but they can still pose a risk. If you’re in the area and feel threatened, don’t take chances—seek shelter.

Thunderstorms with heavy rain continue to move slowly across central South Dakota. They’ll start picking up speed over the next couple of hours. While we haven’t had many severe thunderstorm warnings so far, some storms could still intensify overnight. Damaging wind gusts and hail will be the main threats. The tornado risk remains low. | Shawn Cable

Our active winter pattern isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and several systems are lined up this week. A powerful midweek storm will bring a mix of rain, freezing drizzle, strong wind and some snow to southern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota with heavier snow focused across central and northern MN and into Wisconsin. Much of SD and western MN could see wind gusts pushing 50 to 60 mph, creating blowing snow and difficult travel even where snowfall is light. Much colder air follows to end the w

Holy turbulence! 😳 Check out what the folks in the NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft have to deal with! The crew was flying straight into the eye of Hurricane Melissa aboard “Kermit,” one of NOAA’s two WP-3D Orion aircraft. These specially equipped planes gather critical data from inside hurricanes... Information that helps improve forecasts and deepen research into storm behavior. This time turbulence was so bad they had to turn around so mechanics could check the aircraft’s frame.ti be sure it w

This is a visible satellite loop ending around 10:45am. One of the things to watch today is clearing and sunshine. The more we clear out the leftover clouds from this morning’s storms, the better the chance for severe weather later today. Clearing means more sunshine, which means more heat, which means more fuel and energy for storms. If clouds stick around longer, that will limit heating and also limit the severe weather potential. As you can see here, clouds are starting to break up in some pl

Here's the latest on the Easter Sunday rain chance. Keep in mind... The cutoff on the northwest side of the system is really sharp, so any shift in track will make a big difference in rain amounts. See my earlier post for the rain forecast. Overall, I think the weather will be really nice for most of Easter Sunday. | Shawn Cable

Here's a quick update on the system moving across the region today and tonight. The big issue will be the wind. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph could create areas of blowing snow that will reduce visibility significantly at times. We're not expecting a lot of new snow-maybe a dusting to a half inch-but while snow is falling, visibility will drop quickly. We've also had some rain today, and that could hold the snowpack down a bit, but there will still be places where the snow is loose and blowing. Travel c

It's definitely an umbrella-worthy day! It's raining pretty good out there this AM... And if it isn't where you are, it probably won't be long. Rain is going to continue through the day, gradually ending from west to east this evening. The weekend is looking pretty darn fantastic. And we're still watching the possibility of strong to severe storms on Monday. I'll have more on all that later. I'm not exactly sure when, but I'll get to it when I'm no longer loopy from the colonoscopy anesthesia. �

A Wednesday/Thursday system will bring rain, strong wind, sharply falling temperatures, and a little light snow to much of the region. It’s not going to be a major winter storm, but it will feel… “sucky,” which is the word I mindlessly blurted out on the video. So we’re going with it. Here are the details, along with an hour-by-hour forecast for wind, rain, and snow. | Shawn Cable
