Minnesota Weather: Severe Storms Move Into NW Minnesota Sunday Night

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –  Severe weather is moving through parts of northwestern Minnesota Sunday evening.

According to Meteorologist Mike Augustyniak, tornadic supercell thunderstorms are likely to develop in western South Dakota around 4 to 6 p.m. The severe storms will move quickly east into the Red River Valley and possibly into west-central Minnesota starting around 7 p.m.

Here are the latest weather updates:

10:00 p.m.: Severe thunderstorm watch for Becker, Beltrami, Clay, Clearwater, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake and Wilkin County until 2 a.m.

7:45 p.m.: Severe thunderstorms issued for Kittson County in northwestern Minnesota until 9:45 p.m, the tornado warnings ended at 7 p.m.

6:00 p.m. Severe thunderstorm warnings for Kittson and Marshall County until 7 p.m. And Clay, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman and Polk County until 6:15 p.m.

The storms could bring tornadoes, destructive wind, flooding and hail. Augustyniak says the best chance for tornadoes will be before midnight in the marginal threat area.

The Twin Cities area looks to miss out on most or all of the activity.
