00:00Good morning for beautiful Rochester, Minnesota, where the sun is shining.
00:04There are some early morning storms that are trying to develop to the west, south of Minneapolis.
00:08But today looks like a major large-scale severe weather outbreak from Oklahoma all the way up to Wisconsin.
00:15And it looks like the greatest threat for EF2 plus tornadoes is going to be across the northern edge of
00:20the wrist.
00:20That's going to be eastern Iowa into southern Wisconsin, possibly even northwestern Illinois as well.
00:26And it looks like there could be a secondary area further south, a southern mode of a cluster of tornado
00:32potential.
00:32That's going to be developing a little bit later in the evening, Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas, including Oklahoma City, up
00:39through Tulsa, Oklahoma.
00:41And if that dry line fires, then there could be a greater tornado threat down there.
00:45But the cold front definitely crashes off to the southeast.
00:47But it looks like the greatest overlap of low-level shear and instability is going to be happening across the
00:53northern edge of this large warm sector.
00:56That's going to be southern Wisconsin into northwestern Illinois and eastern Iowa.
00:59And it looks like supercell storms could develop a little bit earlier up here, between about noon and 1 p
01:04.m. across eastern Iowa,
01:06and then move east-northeast across southern Wisconsin.
01:08And all hazards are going to be possible, including a threat of EF2 and stronger tornadoes out there.
01:15That's why we've got the Dominator 3 today, just in case those tornadoes get a little bit stronger.
01:20But in between those two modes, it looks like a damaging wind event, a widespread straight-line wind event is
01:26going to be the issue there.
01:27And that includes portions of Missouri into western Illinois.
01:31And then further south, it does look like wind and hail is going to be the main threat.
01:35But there also is a conditional threat of a strong tornado for that southern mode.
01:39And again, that includes Oklahoma City through Tulsa into southeastern Kansas, possibly even western Missouri as well.
01:44So stay tuned to those severe weather watches and warnings across this large warm sector.
01:50A very high-amplitude trough is upstream, and it definitely could be dangerous weather from Oklahoma all the way up
01:56to Wisconsin.
01:57Look at the motion. It's going to be a big one.
