Looks like a scattered supercell event with potential for a line of storms to develop late from this. Should be interesting to watch. 30% severe potential on wind in Minneapolis in mid September is climatologically rare, despite there being tornadic activity near there two of the last three years.

I don't know if I can remember the last time a tornado was that far north that late in the year. Wow.

New tornado watch, with pretty high numbers, to the west. Maybe a MDT risk at 0600Z?

It's 75 degrees in Minneapolis at 5 AM on September 21st. I can't say I have ever seen the temperatures that high this early in the day.
Nothing like getting an October type storm in the latter third of September with abnormal warmth to begin with to the south. Great severe set up.

Still a slgt risk but there is a 10% chance of tornadoes in N WI.
