A tornado is touching down SW of Clay Center, KS. This semi-discrete supercell is incredibly well organized and likely to continue to be tornadic for the next hour. A dangerous situation unfolding for the county seat. Take cover Morganville. #kswx

A powerful MCS is deepening near Elk Creek, NE with an absurdly strong mesocyclone that is beginning to accelerate ENE towards the Iowa border near Brownsville, NE. #newx #iawx

#mnwx Brief funnel near Fairmont, MN.

Rope tornado on the ground near Fairmont, MN. @NWSTwinCities #mnwx

Tornado Warning including Truman MN, Lewisville MN and Northrop MN until 7:45 PM CDT

A blossoming cluster of storms east of the main MCS is beginning to become tornadic between Sherburn, MN and Northrop, MN . Flowing NNE towards Truman, MN. #MNwx

MONSTER st libary ne

Just intercepted an absolute MONSTER at close range north of St. Libory east of Hwy 281. Homes destroyed. Checking on folks now

@CurryIsMyGOATT We are on the norther end of the QLCS and a few bookend vortices are still a major threat for tornadoes, especially for the SW and S metro. The warming was much more robust than expected due to afternoon clearing! Watch for the notches!

@UncannyObserver Booo. I’d rather have discrete cells — not because of the greater tornado risk, but the lesser likelihood of the metro actually being hit by storms

The 00z HRRR just printed a potent QLCS nailing the Twin Cities at around 11pm. The timing is still uncertain but the likelihood of widespread damaging winds (70+mph), large hail, and a few tornadoes, especially SW of the Metro. Likely will be upgraded to enhanced risk. #mnwx

An extremely wide tornado is touching down NW of Saint Libory heading directly for Palmer, NE. #newx

80+ mph possible along the NE/KS Border. A potent QLCS is flowing east! #kswx #newx

Monster Supercells absolutely flourishing in southern Nebraska and North Kansas. Echo Tops reaching 60k ft for the tornadic storm north of Beatrice, NE. #kswx #newx

Loving these little convective buds lighting up the night sky as they zoom east. Multiple rounds of top shelf b buds. Brief downpour, vibrant lightning that lingers, and soothing thunder. #mnwx

@paulhuttnerwx @NWSTopeka Y'all sent balloons up at 12Z, right?

@paulhuttnerwx The lack of soundings is absolutely an issue but I think the post was made before all the stations had reported. This is what I am seeing on the SPC sounding page.

Sure would be helpful to have weather balloon data feeding into forecast models on a severe weather day. Little to balloon launch data immediately upstream. Ridiculous. #mnwx

Strong storms affecting the west metro will give way to a brief lull before a robust mesocyclone makes its way NE. Currently winding up between St. James and Mankato, MN. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main hazard. ETA ~7pm #mnwx

Wall cloud west of Cambridge MN with possible funnel but can’t tell! @NWSTwinCities

Modest instability and lapse rates meets vigorous initiation and ample lower level SRH. Expect widespread low end severe weather, with isolated intense updrafts that could spawn a tornado. A storm blossoming over Le Sueur, MN is starting a wave heading towards TC metro. #mnwx
