04/05/05 TALK: Northern Plains (Minnesota)

[Jeff Miller]

Wanted to make this TALK thread for conversation of severe thunderstorms producing large hail currently impacting Stearns/Kandiyohi and Meeker counties in Minnesota. These thunderstorms are capable of producing large hail up to 2.50" and torrential rains. Flooding is also a major threat with the slow movement of these storms.

Of note: this area was not included in slight risk for severe thunderstorms, and is currently not in any watch box or MD from SPC. discussion encouraged.

update

Storms have weakened and are no longer within severe limits and capable of producing large hail. However, storms in this vicinity are still capable of heavy rain and frequent lightning and gusty winds, but again, not within severe parameters...

As much of the attention was understandably farther south this afternoon and evening... Such ends this "talk"
