6/26/10 DISC: SD/IA/MN

[Dean Baron]

I thought the MOD risk was for large hail and destructive winds? If so it verified as there was reports of winds over 60 MPH and large hail.

Edit: The main risks for that day were damaging winds and large hail. There was a 45% chance of large hail and a 30% chance of damaging winds with only a 15% chance of a tornado. These risks were highest in the Moderate risk outlook. In and near the Moderate risk area hail as large as 2.75 inches fell and winds were reported as high as 74 MPH from the reports page. Numerous trees and power lines were knocked down from winds over 70 MPH. What made you think the Moderate risk was for tornadoes? There was 12 tornadoes reported in and around the Moderate risk area so it could have been for tornadoes but I thought someone else said in the forecast thread the risk was for damaging winds?

Edit 2: There was an EF2 tornado near New Ulm, Minnesota. There was an EF2 tornado in and near Courtland Minnesota. There was four tornadoes in Blue Earth County, Minnesota with EF2 ratings. EF2 or higher rated tornadoes are considered significant tornadoes. So Six significant tornadoes occured in or near the Moderate risk area.

I think you have the wrong date. Day (I think) you're talking about is 6/25, this is the DISC thread for 6/26. I dont see any tornado reports from Brown or Nicollet counties (New Ulm is right on the border) for 6/26, but there were some on 6/25.

Thanks for catching that. I was looking at the surveys for the 25th and did not even realize it.
