Multiple chances exist for severe t-storms on Monday. The first round will be Monday morning with the second round coming Monday PM as a cold front drops south across the area. How the morning t-storms evolve, will dictate who & when will receive t-storms in the afternoon ⛈️

Still looking at the potential for severe storms late tonight into the overnight hours as a line of storms currently over portions of SD and NE make their way east. Damaging winds look to be the main threat with the greatest risk along and west of US-63 ⛈️

Why hasn't NWS confirmed a tornado near XYZ yet??? Storm surveying is a complex process that takes time. We had 2 teams out today and we plan to send 1 more team out tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!

Through 2 AM, widespread rain continues with freezing rain building in north of I-90 as temperatures cool. Where temperatures are at freezing, ice may begin to accumulate on elevated surfaces. The precipitation stays rain for areas south of I-90. #wiwx #mnwx

4/1 1045am: With freezing rain ahead tonight into midday Thursday, keep these safety tips in mind. With warm ground present before freezing rain starts, impacts on roads will tend to focus on bridges and overpasses early on before slick spots start to develop on more of the roads
