:: Memorial Day - Severe Wx? (Update 1)
...at 1500 CDT/2000Z...
Line of strong storms formed from BJI south to about LXL (Little Falls) around 1330-1400 and is intensifying and pushing east...this line (per satellite) should continue to form along frontal bdy through STC and southward over the next few hours.
Secondary line, pre-fronrtal in nature, and most likely due to localized breaking of CAP in S MN, forming from Northfield to FBL, and over the IA border to MCW.
Both lines moving ENE at around 20 MPH. With the southern line having a 50/50 chc of clipping Lakeville on its way past, this should break the local cap more...evidence of this already with multiple TCU's (towering cumulus clouds) in the vicinity. As front out west of us advances, and the northern line builds southward, chance of storms and rain potential increases through the prime time hours this holiday evening...
...SHORT TERM LAKEVILLE FORECAST...
High of 93 achieved...steady to slowly falling temps through the PM expected, mainly after sundown.
90% chance of showers and thunderstorms, arriving around or after 6pm, and continuing until 10pm. Heavy rain and strong winds are possible with these storms. Low tonight 70
