A series of Pacific fronts will bring periodic waves of showers and thunderstorms to parts of the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest the next few days. Swells, high surf, dangerous rip currents and areas of coastal flooding continue along much of the East Coast from both Humberto and Imelda. Unseasonably hot temperatures continue for much of the Plains and Midwest through the remainder of the week. Read More >
Overview
A strong area of low pressure across the Northern Plains lifted a warm front across the Northland on Memorial Day morning. Showers and storms moved through during the morning hours with the atmosphere recovering during the afternoon hours. A few of the storms were severe during the morning and produced small hail and tree damage. An arc of thunderstorms developed across southwestern Minnesota and adjacent areas of Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa by the mid-afternoon hours and moved to the northeast and across the Northland for the late afternoon and evening hours. These storms were much stronger and contained very strong winds that produced widespread damage across the region. Additionally, there were a few embedded tornadoes with the storms with the strongest tornadoes producing EF-1 damage in the Deer River and Hinckley areas.

Radar
Header
| Radar overview of the Poplar Township tornado. Additional tornadoes were found upstream from this one, but a continuous damage path across the county/CWA line was not found. | Radar overview of the Deer River and Cohasset tornadoes. Note that the radar was having dealiasing issues in the area of interest, making it difficult to see pertinant features. This area is ~80 miles from the radar and the lowest scan is ~5100'. The processes for QLCS tornadogenesis usually occur ~1600' or lower, so the radar is overshooting the area of interest in the storm. |
| Radar overview of the Hinckley tornado. Hinckley is ~65 miles from the radar with the lowest beam elevation ~3500', so the radar is again overshooting the area of interest. However, we can see a descending rear inflow jet approaching from the southwest. This feature is believed to have played a part in tornadogenesis in addition to bringing damaging straight-line winds to the central part of Hinckley. | Radar overview of a null tornado case near Swatara. There is a CC drop nearly colocated with some broad circulation which may be a TDS. However, these features were located in an area of low reflectivity ahead of the storm and are most likely cause by side lobe contamination. |

SPC AC 301625 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 AM CDT Mon May 30 2022 Valid 301630Z - 311200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING FROM EASTERN SD INTO MN... ...SUMMARY... Numerous severe thunderstorms are forecast across parts of the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley, with more scattered to isolated activity southward into the central Plains today into tonight. Large to giant hail, 60-80 mph gusts, and a few long-tracked, intense tornadoes are possible. ...A substantial threat for severe storms with all hazards is expected this afternoon/evening from eastern South Dakota into Minnesota... ...Eastern SD into MN though late evening... A midlevel shortwave trough and associated 70-90 kt midlevel jet will progress quickly north-northeastward from western KS/NE toward the upper MS Valley by tonight. An associated 992 mb surface low in central NE as of late morning will develop quickly north-northeastward across eastern SD to near the ND/MN border by early tonight. Scattered elevated storms, some with large hail, will likely persist through the day in the warm advection zone to the north of the warm front across eastern SD into southwestern MN. However, the warm sector with mid-upper 60s dewpoints now across eastern NE/western IA will spread northward during the day, with increasing potential for surface-based storm development near and just ahead of the surface cyclone and ejecting midlevel trough by midday/early afternoon. It appears the convection will begin as clusters by midday across east/southeast SD, and expand quickly northeastward into central/northern MN by late afternoon/evening. All hazards can be expected with the surface-based storms during the afternoon, in an environment favorable for fast-moving supercells. However, there are some concerns about mixed convective mode/bowing segments given potential storm interactions and strong forcing for ascent. Deep-layer vertical shear will be quite strong (effective shear in excess of 65 kt), with long hodographs and low-level, clockwise curvature (effective SRH of 300-400 m2/s2). These wind profiles, in combination with midlevel lapse rates greater than 8 C/km and MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg, will support the threat for a few long-tracked, intense tornadoes and very large hail with any semi-discrete supercells. As previously mentioned, there will also be some potential for storm interactions and upscale growth into line segments capable of producing significant outflow gusts up to 80 mph, given the very strong environmental wind profiles. ..Thompson/Bentley.. 05/30/2022
