The SPC has gone MDT in the Upper Midwest. The thinking is that a major derecho could develop, particularly in Minnesota, W Wisconsin and NE Iowa. Could be interesting...

Yes, interesting indeed. To bad it'll be at night, looks like I'll be awakened by the weather radio again tonight.

Sirens went off at 4am last Saturday. Looks like another rough night.

The big question is will the bow echo go through the Twin Cities?

Looks like it will sweep through the East Metro. There is a new line forming up by St. Cloud which should take care of the rest of us.

That will have a hard time getting to the same intensity though...although the main bow echo should get past before it reaches peak intensity if it becomes a classic derecho (that would be La Crosse's problem...)
