00:00I'm live on a severe thunderstorm warned supercell here. This is to the north of Shareburn, Minnesota, and this is
00:07further west along the warm front just ahead of the surface low, and we expect this to continue to mature.
00:13It also has a tornado possible tag on it, and there is a double warm front structure that set up
00:18earlier today. There was a line of supercells further north, one of which triggered a tornado warning that did not
00:24materialize into a tornado, and now we've got the southern warm frontal zone, which is a little bit closer to
00:29the deeper
00:29moisture, and this supercell has erupted on it. It's already starting to get striations on it. It has a mesocyclone
00:36and a very large crisp updraft base, and the forward flank is beginning to fill in. We're getting a lot
00:42more precipitation in the forward flank of this supercell storm, but right now we are live in the Dominator. We
00:48are measuring the southeasterly to easterly surface winds right now right along the warm frontal zone, and we are tracking
00:54this supercell further west along the warm front just to the north of Shareburn, Minnesota. This is going to move
00:58southeast, get a
00:59little bit closer to the Iowa border toward evening, and definitely has a threat of EF2 and greater tornadoes as
01:06it moves east-southeast along this southern warm frontal zone.
