Overview
|
A warm front lifted north into southern Minnesota on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 25th. Strong heating to the south of the front with dew points in the 70s allowed for ample instability to develop across the area. Scattered thunderstorms developed in response to the instability and strong low level shear allowed these low-topped supercells to rotate and produce tornadoes across south central and southeast Minnesota. The reports are still being analyzed and this page will update when new tornadoes are added. |
