As you can see from the images below, it appears that our area is in for some severe weather. Strong southernly winds are brining in a lot of moisture from the maritime tropical airmasses, causing warm weather and potentially severe conditions.
With the weather sounding below, we can see that there are conditionally unstable conditions in Minneapolis right now. Ultimately, these conditions might cause convection and eventually unleash severe weather in our region. If a deep trough develops in the jet stream, we may see more severe weather of the next couple days.
