Tornadoes and Violent Thunderstorms Return Monday
Thunderstorm Forecast: Next 12 Hours
Red shading indicates areas with the best chance of severe thunderstorms; orange shades can expect thunderstorms, but have little or no threat of severe weather. By definition, severe thunderstorms have one of the following: wind gusts of at least 58 mph, hail at least 1 inch in diameter, or a tornado. Severe thunderstorms will flare up in parts of the Upper Midwest, Missouri Valley and Plains Monday into Monday night. Large hail and damaging straight-line winds are possible from South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin to the Texas Panhandle. The highest threat for tornadoes, some possibly strong, appears to be near the warm front and weak surface low from eastern South Dakota and northeast Nebraska into southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Overnight, a complex of thunderstorms with strong winds and heavy rain will track east into the western Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley.
Flash Flood Risk
Heavy rainfall this past weekend, in addition to soaking rain earlier this month, has left the ground saturated in parts of southern Minnesota, southeast South Dakota, northeast Nebraska and northwest Iowa. The Rock River at Luverne, Minnesota, crested at an all-time record on Father's Day. Sioux Falls, South Dakota picked up 4.71 inches of rain last weekend, pushing them to an all-time monthly rain record of 9.97 inches, through June 15. Any additional heavy rainfall over this region will quickly runoff, leading to additional flash flooding of fields, roads, and rises on area rivers and streams. Unfortunately, a complex of thunderstorms may bring locally heavy rain to parts of this region each evening through Thursday evening. Lightning is of course always dangerous. Keep that in mind if you have outdoor plans in the orange areas on our thunderstorm maps.

Powerful Storms Return Monday to Minneapolis, Omaha
Two days after severe thunderstorms rocked the Plains and Midwest, another round of severe weather is expected to kick off what looks like a stormy week in the Heartland. Lower humidity allowed for comfortable temperatures on Sunday across the region, but moisture will return on Monday and provide fuel for intense thunderstorms from afternoon to nighttime. Some storms can contain damaging winds and large hail across the threat area. Isolated tornadoes can occur with the most intense thunderstorms.
The ground is already saturated in some areas from recent heavy rainfall and additional downpours can cause more flooding. Several rivers are already above flood stage and are still rising as a result of 4 to 7 inches of rain that fell since late last week. Any additional rain will only exacerbate the problem. The Omaha, Nebraska, area has experienced several rounds of severe thunderstorms this month, most recently this past Saturday night with wind gusts over 50 mph from thunderstorms that rolled through.
High winds from thunderstorms knocked down trees and caused power outages in the Minneapolis area this past Saturday. More damage to trees and power outages can occur as a result of these thunderstorms. Some roads may become impassable as a result of flooding, which will cause travel delays. Des Moines, Iowa, could be impacted later in the day on Monday and thunderstorms could reach Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday night.
More rough weather is expected into the middle of this week. Waves of thunderstorms will traverse areas from the Plains to the Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday along a frontal boundary. Thunderstorms, some strong to severe, are a threat both days. Flooding could become a concern if multiple thunderstorms with heavy rainfall track over the same area.

I sure hope that CC minimum is not all #tornado debris. Crazy looking mesocyclone on velocity.
