AND MORE BOLTED IN THE GROUND
AROUND IT.
AND TWO NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS
WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE
LIGHTNING.
LISA MEADOWS, THAT'S SCARY OUT
THERE, SHE JOINS US WITH
INFORMATION ABOUT SEVERE STORMS
THAT PASSED THROUGH MINNESOTA A
FEW NIGHTS AGO, THE 1st TIME I
EVER HEARD THE TERM GUST NATO.
RIGHT, EXACTLY, IT WAS OUR
1st DAY WE HAD SEVERE WEATHER
SO I WAS OUT WITH THE MOBILE
WEATHER LAB, WE HAD MIKE WHO
WAS BACKING UP CHRIS IN STUDIO,
THE NICKNAME THAT I CALL MIKE
IS GUST NATO BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
A TERM, WHEN YOU HAVE A
GUSTNADO, BASICALLY THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DIDN'T
SEE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THESE
WERE TORNADOES, IF YOU REMEMBER
TUESDAY, AFTERNOON, EVENING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA WE ACTUALLY
WERE CUTTING IN WITH SOME OF
THAT SEVERE WEATHER, A GUSTNADO
IS MORE OF A SHORT-LIVED WEEK
CIRCULATION COMING OUT OF THE
AS OPPOSED TO A TORNADO WHERE
IT'S ATTACHED TO A ROTATING
CLOUD BASE.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, AND
THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE SAW
TUESDAY, THE GOOD NEWS IS
COMING UP FOR THE WEEKEND WE
HAVE A CHANCE OF STORMS BUT
HERE'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR
TOMORROW.
NOTICE THAT ENHANCED RISK, MOST
OF THE SEVERE STUFF SHOULD BE
OFF TO OUR WEST.
WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE
WESTERN PART OF THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA, WHERE WE HAVE THAT
ONE OUT OF FIVE MARGINAL RISK
WHEN IT COMES TO THE SEVERE
STORMS, I THINK IT'S MORE SO
SUNDAY, WE WOULD KEEP A CLOSER
EYE ON THINGS, BUT NOTICE THAT
WE DON'T HAVE THE SEVERE
WEATHER INGREDIENTS IN PLACE,
LOOK AT THIS, DEWPOINTS ARE
DOWN, WE HAD A FRIEND THAT CAME
THROUGH, WASHED THE HUMILITY
HUMIDITY LEVELS OUT, YOU
PROBABLY NOTICED THOSE WINDS
OUT OF THE NORTH, THEY WERE
PRETTY STRONG THROUGHOUT THE
DAY TODAY, RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT
ABOUT FIVE, WINS HAVE RELAXED
QUITE A BIT, AND TEMPERATURES
OF ALSO FALLEN OFF.
WE ARE AT 73 IN THE TWIN CITIES
WHEREAS MOST LOCATIONS
OTHERWISE IN THE 50s AND THE
60s WESTERN WISCONSIN, MID AND
UPPER 60s, 50s AS WE LOOK
FURTHER TO THE NORTH, DROPPING
OFF, THAT'S CLOSER TO WHAT OUR
AVERAGE HIGH THIS TIME OF YEAR,
76 WE TOPPED OUT AT 81, THAT
WAS OUR AFTERNOON HIGH, IT WAS
PRETTY WARM.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THINGS WILL BE
QUIET FOR A WHILE, HIGH
PRESSURE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
MIDWEST, WE HAD A COUPLE OF
CLOUDS OUT THERE, ALEXANDRIA,
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, WE ARE
STICKING WITH CLEAR SKIES
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WHICH MEANS
IF YOU'RE A FAN OF LOOKING
OUTSIDE, STARGAZING OR YOU WANT
TO CHECK OUT THE FULL MOON
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, 59, WHEN IT
COMES TO OUR LOW TEMPS, AND
THEN TOMORROW SUNRISE 533 IN
THE MORNING, AND THEN THOSE
TEMPERATURES DO JUMP UP,
TOMORROW WILL PROBABLY BE
COOLER THAN WHAT WE SAW FOR
TODAY, THAT COOLER AIR MASS IN
PLACE, DRYER, TOO.
84 HIGH TEMP, 72, WE ARE GOING
TO BE STILL ABOVE AVERAGE.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE RAIN
CHANCES.
HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN, WE WILL
WATCH THOSE THUNDERSTORMS THAT
START TO SWING ACROSS THE
WESTERN PART OF THE STATE, AS
WE GO THROUGH TOMORROW IT COULD
BE AS EARLY AS MONDAY, IN THE
TWIN CITIES METRO WE HAVE HAD A
COUPLE OF ISOLATED STORMS TRY
TO SWING THROUGH FOR
DINNERTIME, CAN'T RULE THAT OUT
BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT'S JUST
AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER.
THEN WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU START TO HEAD OVERNIGHT,
GOING INTO SUNDAY, WE DO PULL
IN THAT CHANCE OF SEEING
SHOWERS AND STORMS, I THINK IT
WILL FAVOR THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WITH
THOSE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BUT
I'M NOT GOING TO RULE IT OUT
FOR THE TWIN CITIES.
AND THE METRO FOR SUNDAY
MORNING.
MAYBE WAKING UP TO SHOWERS AND
STORMS, THESE ARE THE ONES TO
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON ACROSS
NORTH NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE STATE THIS IS FOR SUNDAY,
WHERE WE HAVE THAT RISK WE ARE
SEEING SOME STRONG WINDS OR
SOME HAIL ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
STORMS.
THIS IS TUESDAY, I THINK THIS
IS WHY IT'S SO INTERESTING, WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT THE TROPICAL
STORM HERE, ALL THE WAY UP IN
MINNESOTA, THAT MOISTURE FROM
THAT STORM COULD CONTINUE TO
PULL UP TO US ON TUESDAY.
WE ARE GOING TO TRACK THAT
BECAUSE THAT PULLS IN A CHANCE
OF SEEING HEAVY RAIN AND
FLOODING, THAT'S OUR TUESDAY
BEFORE THAT, SUMMER HEAT, HOT
