It is HAZY this morning! Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to impact southeast MN. An AIR QUALITY ALERT is in effect through at least noon so plan on widespread haze heading into the afternoon. Sensitive groups should limit time outdoors. #mnwx

The #NorthernLights in Minnesota did not disappoint. What a spectacular display! #mnwx #Auroraborealis

YIKES! That'll do some damage alright!

Rain will gradually wind down across north Iowa this morning. However, additional showers are certainly likely later this afternoon especially across northeast Iowa into southwest Wisconsin. It'll be a cooler day with high temperatures in the 60s. #mnwx #iawx

Meh. Looks way to unrealistic and rather cheesy. But, I'll probably see it. 🌪️

Severe weather outbreak likely today across the southern/central plains. #SPC has issued a rare High Risk (Level 5 of 5) for portions of OK into southern KS. Keep those people in your thoughts.

Long-track violent tornadoes and destructive hail are certainly possible. #okwx #kswx

GOES-16 visible #satellite imagery this morning shows some river valley fog across southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa and western Wisconsin. How cool! #mnwx #iawx #wiwx

**DENSE FOG ADVISORY** is in place for several counties in southeast Minnesota and northern Iowa until 8:00 AM. Visibility under 1/4 mile is possible. Plan on extra time for your commute as visibility can change rapidly over short distances. #mnwx #iawx

Yep. Pretty much 😂

Rain, including heavier downpours, continues to overspread the area this morning. Rain will wind down this afternoon becoming more scattered. A thunderstorm is also possible. It'll be a cooler day with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. #mnwx #iawx

I still can't stand this song. 👎

MJ = 🐐

THURSDAY RAIN: A wet day is expected tomorrow. A steady rain will overspread the area by Thursday morning. PWATS of 1.0' to 1.4' will likely lead to some heavier rains with amounts of 0.50' to 1.50' across SE MN and north IA. Higher amounts possible in NE IA. #mnwx #iawx

THIS is great! Such a local hero! 🙌😂

Showers & t/storms are expected to rumble across the area in the 4:00-11:00 PM timeframe with the potential of stronger storms. Damaging wind gusts (60+ mph), large hail (quarter-sized or bigger) and an isolated tornado are possible especially near the I-35 corridor. #mnwx #iawx

NOOOOO!!

OMG! And it has a... roof? Hmm...

24??? Stop. It! 😳

The aurora drought finally ended this morning! Incredible colors from Watertown, South Dakota!

Shoutout to Hunte☈ Fowkes for telling me to run out to the field at work as this substorm exploded. Wish I had my digital camera with me!

Nice!! 😍
