:: Somethings Gotta Give (19Z - 2pm UPDATE)
Frontal movement has still remained on track, with southern and western slope of front now pushing across southwest MN. SPC has just published a Mesoscale Discussion and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Satellite now shows clear-cut convective development running parallel and just ahead of the front, and radar confirms with a line of cells, becoming more MCS and squall-like in the north-eastern and north-central portions of MN.
Closer to home, some cells have fired over the MN River Valley near Jordan and LeSuer. All of the activity is moving east at 20-30 mph. Will have to keep a close eye on situation, as these more local cells could have potential to intensify rapidly. Main threat for these storms are damaging wind and hail.
Lakeville can expect these storms to roll through between 1430-1600 this afternoon.
