00:00We are still tracking some tornado threats on the map. We have three
00:04warnings at this point in Minnesota. One well to the north, but unfortunately
00:10we're dealing with an escalating threat into parts of the metro as well, closer
00:14to the Twin Cities. So I'm going to take this from south to north. First off into
00:18areas near St. Peter and New Ulm. We'll zoom into this area with the Minneapolis
00:23radar site as our primary tool. And here we have a really nasty little pixel here
00:29or two, a few pixels of outbound wind, suggesting strong outbound wind. And
00:34there's the inbound. So some of these areas east of New Ulm into Nicolette County
00:38facing a developing tornado threat here. There's your area of rotation. And that
00:42will continue to move to the east. As we loop this, you can see how this is ramping
00:46up and moving almost directly east. So look out in New Sweden and Oshawa, Nicolette
00:50County until 7.15 central time. A tornado warning is in effect for you. And then as
00:55we take you one step north, a little closer to the city, and here we get into
01:00areas around the suburbs here into Leicester Prairie and Mayer and near the
01:05Waconia area, we have a screaming outbound wind signature. Very strong outbound
01:10wind. I'm going to loop this to see if there's been any real inbound. And at
01:13times we have had some inbound. It's a little bit disconfigured, but overall this
01:19strong, strong outbound wind signature with some inbound on the south side,
01:23indicative of a possible tornado in this area here between the area of
01:29Hamburg and Mayer. As we bring up a few labels here, this is Carver County of
01:34Minnesota moving from eastern McLeod County into western Carver County of
01:38Minnesota. Very populated suburbs here west of Minneapolis and St. Paul. We also
01:43have some severe thunderstorms continuing to move east here into areas around
01:47western Hennepin County. Up to the north, looks like the weather service in Duluth has
01:52allowed this tornado warning to expire because of straight line winds as we
01:56talked about being the predominant threat moving into an area southwest of
02:00Duluth. But we still have an ongoing tornado threat to the north and bringing
02:03back the high-res radar data from Duluth in this case. Still a strong zone of
02:08rotation. This is holding strong. There was a time when this began to transition to
02:12straight line winds a little bit, but it never totally lost its couplet. And now this
02:17has really fiercely ramped back up. So we are looking at a likely tornado producer
02:21approaching the community of Cherry. This is in St. Louis County of Minnesota. So look
02:26out there in the community of Cherry. You are facing a dangerous tornado threat. So
02:31big concerns there. We've had lots of reports of tornadoes. You can see a series of
02:35these. Closer to St. Cloud, there was a funnel cloud earlier as well. But again,
02:39numerous tornadoes. Some of these have produced, at least one of these, produced a
02:43multi-vortex tornado. We've also had, again, some trouble out in the eastern parts of Colorado
02:48with a small-scale confirmed cell earlier that hasn't been filed yet. But there was a
02:54confirmed tornado with that small-scale cell earlier. Now, Anna, the northeast is one area
02:58where we're going to face a continuation of severe flood risks in some spots. Yeah, flooding
03:03is really the focus for the next couple of days. And when we zoom in on radar, you might
03:07be thinking, okay, why this doesn't really look like much? Well, we had that significant
03:11rainfall over the weekend, not just in West Virginia, but Virginia had some flash flooding
03:15reports as well. And when we take a look at future rainfall, this gives you a better idea
03:20of why we are a little bit concerned.
