Meteorologist Paul Douglas writes about Minnesota weather daily, trying to go beyond the "highs" and "lows" of the weather story to discuss current trends and some of the how's and why's of meteorology. Rarely is our weather dull - every day is a new forecast challenge. Why is the weather doing what it's doing? Is climate change a real concern, and if so, how will my family be affected? Climate is flavoring all weather now, and I'll include links to timely stories that resonate with me.

Severe Threat Update
Doppler Radar Update: 1:36 PM. Doppler out of MPX shows strong/severe storms tracking across southern MN, small, marble-size hail west of Shakopee, but the most severe storms are near the Iowa border, where 60 mph+ winds and some ping pong size hail is likely through the afternoon hours. In this kind of an environment, with sufficient wind shear, instability and low-level moisture, an isolated tornado can't be ruled out. The greatest risk of tornadoes appears to be farther south, over Iowa, under a "moderate" risk from SPC.
