Severe Weather Likely Tonight

The NWS has is very near the slight risk to start off the day. I suspect with the updated outlooks today that it might shift over us ever so slightly. Maybe not. The moderate risk is a little further south than I expected.


Our area should see the most severe weather in the late evening and overnight. It would be an excellent day to pick up a weather radio if you didn't have one since this looks to be a long duration event and I doubt anyone will be awake all night monitoring television or radio. The NWS as asked spotters to be available from 9 PM to 4 AM. (That will make for a long day.)

You can see the large number of lightning strikes and when Oklahoma saw the severe weather remain active all night with warning after warning. Upper Iowa and lower Minnesota are receiving heavy snow at the rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour.
