Quiet now – becoming volatile

Visible satellite image from mid morning.

Checking the latest weather parameters it appears that this extensive sunshine will broil over into a very unstable airmass this afternoon. Strong thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and possibility of tornadoes will become more likely from mid afternoon into the evening.

The best chance for severe weather will be from about Montevideo to Hutchinson to Northfield and points south. However, the Twin Cities is in the threat area.
