I'm surprised that the Storm near Oak with the Hook hasn't rapped up/ cycled yet..

The storm that formed on its flanking line is currently interfering with its inflow.

This was pretty impressive a few minutes ago...

It looks like the Storms North of Superior it's becoming one of those situations where there is two Supercells all congealed into the same storm, just with two separate areas of rotation/ two hooks...

What a beast in Southern ND right now...

Noticed that a few minutes ago.. Looks like a Monster... It appears it has some Strong Rotation, granted that it is 60+ Miles away from the ABR WSR 88...

Wow... That Storm near Davenport has got it's act together quick, pretty classic supercell, with pretty good rotation.. ALTHOUGH the Rain cooled air looks like it may out run the storm thus getting rid of the Tornado threat, unless it cycles..

I had to miss out yesterday being on the forecast desk and having spotter training last evening, but I did want to post something I noticed during the morning.

The visible satellite from around 10 AM yesterday morning. You can clearly see the arcing OFB from the morning convection, but there was also a secondary boundary that made itself present as daytime heating commenced (running SW to NE). Looking at surface obs, this roughly marked the boundary of richer surface moisture. Mid to upper 60s dewpoints resided south of the boundary, and low 60s to upper 50s to north. The boundary actually made very slow progress north during the day, about 30 miles in total. Sure enough it was along this boundary that the reported tornado occurred, despite being south of or on the southern edge of the moderate risk.

Interesting......a new outflow boundary looks to be setting up on the Iowa/MN border from todays convection. Really visible on the loop.
