Flooding, Tornadoes Reported In Southern Minn. For 2nd Day Of Storms
Tornado watches and thunderstorm warnings are in effect as severe storms surge up from the Great Plains and into Minnesota.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live feeds here, but here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- Tornado watches in Minnesota are typically issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) when conditions favor tornado development, often lasting several hours and covering multiple counties depending on the storm track. Recent examples show watches extending into western and southern Minnesota with watches sometimes in effect until 8–10 p.m. local time.[2][7]
- In practice, when a watch is in effect, people should have a plan, monitor local weather alerts, and seek shelter indoors away from windows if a warning is issued or if storms approach closely. Local schools and businesses sometimes preemptively adjust schedules during active watches.[3][2]
If you want, I can pull the most current local updates for Grapevine, TX, or Minnesota, and provide a concise alert with nearest counties at risk and recommended safety steps. I can also set up a quick, shareable summary for you. Would you like me to fetch the very latest Minnesota tornado watch status now?
