The risk has been upgraded to MODERATE (level 4/5) later today and this evening across western MN. Widespread wind damage, very large hail, and a few tornadoes are expected. Be prepared for severe weather later today!

We love that the MPX WFO is using the hometown @HopWRF models for near-term forecast honing! @NWSTwinCities #mnwx mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx…

MPCA has issued Air Quality Alert for today valid through 9 PM tonight. Wildfire smoke has helped contribute gaseous pollutants to aid in ground-level ozone production in addition to very warm temperatures under hazy but mostly sunny skies. #AirQualityAlert #MNwx

Confidence is very high that strong storms will continue to develop this afternoon and move across the region this afternoon and evening. Torrential rainfall will likely lead to flash-flooding. Never attempt to cross flooded roads. Turn around, don't drown! #mnwx #wiwx

Have outdoor plans? Severe storms are possible this afternoon & evening. Make sure to stay weather aware. Make a plan of where you will take shelter if thunderstorms approach & have a way to receive watches and warnings. NOAA Weather Radio & FEMA app are good options. #mnwx #wiwx

While #Minnesota is experiencing an unusually cold start to April, it's worth mentioning that it is not unprecedented (e.g. 2013) and that the winter as a whole has been normal (e.g. the accumulated winter season severity index). #mnwx

A quick moving band of light snow, possibly mixed with freezing drizzle, will move across eastern MN and western WI tonight. Greatest snow accumulations are expected out toward Ladysmith, WI, where an inch is possible, with a dusting expected for the Twin Cities. #BoldNorth ❄️

It can get a bit chilly in the #BoldNorth. In order to make sure you're staying warm at outdoor events (like #SBLive presented by @verizon) follow the helpful info in the graphic below. For additional tips on how to dress for colder weather please visit: bit.ly/2EoiIes
