Severe Thunderstorms Expected in the Twin Cities on Tuesday

Severe weather is expected for the Twin Cities on Tuesday, with temperatures reaching near 90 degrees. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center has issued a severe weather outlook for the area.

The day will start with leftover morning thunderstorms and showers, which will gradually diminish throughout the day. Clouds will partially clear, leading to a steamy afternoon in southern Minnesota. However, the morning showers and clouds may prevent temperatures from hitting the 90-degree mark, although it will still be very warm and muggy.

In the late afternoon and evening, more storms are expected to develop, especially in areas that missed the morning thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has identified a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms across central and southern Minnesota, as well as western Wisconsin. The primary threats from these storms are large hail and damaging wind gusts.

Due to the morning thunderstorms and cloud cover, there is uncertainty about how far north the severe storms could develop. The highest energy forecast for strong storms is expected to be mainly across southern Minnesota, influenced by the morning showers in central Minnesota.

With relatively light winds aloft, the storms will be slow-moving, potentially producing locally heavy rainfall. There is also a slight risk of excessive rainfall.

Behind the cold front and storms, temperatures will drop into the 70s and 60s for highs on Wednesday. The weather will return to seasonable levels by Friday, with temperatures in the 80s and 70s. There is another chance of thunderstorms on Saturday.

Residents of the Twin Cities are advised to stay updated on the weather conditions and take necessary precautions to stay safe during the severe weather.

What are the main concerns for severe weather in Twin City on Tuesday?

Get ready, Twin City residents! Tuesday’s forecast calls for some intense weather, with temperatures soaring near 90 degrees. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center has even issued a severe weather outlook for the area.

To kick things off, expect some morning thunderstorms and showers lingering around. But don’t worry, they’ll gradually fade away as the day progresses. As the clouds start to disperse, brace yourselves for a hot and sticky afternoon in southern Minnesota. Now, while these morning showers and clouds might prevent the mercury from hitting the 90-degree mark, it’s still going to be scorching out there.

But wait, there’s more! Late in the afternoon and into the evening, get ready for another round of storms. Especially for those areas that missed out on the morning thunderstorms, you can expect some action. The Storm Prediction Center has raised a slight risk alert (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms across central and southern Minnesota, as well as western Wisconsin. And what are we dealing with here? Well, the main concerns include large hail and damaging wind gusts. Not something you want to mess with!

Now, due to those morning thunderstorms and pesky clouds, there’s a bit of uncertainty as to how far north the severe storms will develop. For the most part, it looks like the highest energy is predicted for strong storms across southern Minnesota, thanks to those morning showers in central Minnesota. So, it seems this area will bear the brunt of the wild weather.

As if that’s not enough, brace yourselves for some snail-paced storms. With relatively light winds aloft, these storms will be slow movers. And with that comes the potential for locally heavy rainfall. You might even want to prepare for the slight risk of excessive rainfall. Keep those umbrellas handy!

Now, when it comes to a silver lining, Wednesday’s temperatures will be much more bearable, with highs dropping into the 70s and 60s. But don’t get too comfortable, as the weather gods have another trick up their sleeves. Thunderstorms might pay us another visit on Saturday.

So, my fellow Twin City residents, make sure to stay updated on the weather conditions and take all the necessary precautions to keep yourselves safe during this severe weather spree.
