Storm Warning. Severe storm warnings are in effect over the western suburbs of the Twin Cities and the St. Cloud to Cambridge area for large hail and damaging winds - reports of 3" diameter hail just east of St. Cloud. Stay alert for severe weather in the coming hours.
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.

Storm Watch until 10 pm (warnings nearby)
Severe Storm Watch remains in effect for central and the southeastern third of Minnesota (including Twin Cities and St. Cloud.) as well as western WI until 10 pm. Conditions are still ripe for more strong/severe storms into the afternoon and evening hours - a tropical airmass overhead, dew points in the 70s, sufficient wind shear for a few isolated "supercell" thunderstorms capable of large hail, even an isolated tornado or two.
