The storms will be incredibly fast-moving at about 60 to 70 mph, producing damaging wind gusts that could top 80 mph. While wind is the primary threat, tornadoes are also likely, particularly in southeastern Minnesota.

This makes Wednesdays weather event not just record-setting (possible record temperatures, dew points, late-season severe weather), but unprecedented with a tornado risk this late in the season.
The current record for latest tornado in Minnesota is on Nov. 16.

Among Minnesotas neighboring states, only Iowa has recorded a December tornado.

Weather in the US this year has just been absolutely unreal, and we know it's only gonna get worse.

Damn. I actually have watched some of the pressure systems in that era lately.

I am kind of a weather underground nerd. I rely on maps, rather than forecasts most of the time.
