Moderate risk area today includes Duluth, the Iron Range, and NW Wisconsin. Very large slight risk area includes Fargo, Minneapolis, and Syracuse. Straight line winds and hail are the main threat today, with storm initiation over eastern ND and western MN, and an MCS is likely to form over northern Minnesota. Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out, but they would likely be weak, short lived tornadoes, much like the kind of tornadoes that are common this time of year in Minnesota.
Below is the straight line wind probability, which was upped to 45%, prompting the moderate risk.
Tornado threat is expected to be really isolated, but the greatest chance is in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There is no need to be concerned about the possibility of a June 17, 2010 scale tornado event, where 48 tornadoes touched down in Minnesota alone, including two EF4s. See below:
Normally, I have some live stream links to share for watching weather coverage online. The problem is that pretty much none of the TV stations in Minnesota do wall-to-wall coverage. Obviously, if I come across a station that is doing wall-to-wall online in Duluth or something like that, I'll pass that along, but for now, I've got nothing.
Sharknado: In case you missed it, Sharknado is on SyFy again tonight at 7EDT/6CDT, and I'll DVR tonight's showing in case I'm out chasing while it's on. Full mockery should be up tomorrow or Saturday.
