MPR News Update for March 7

Good morning! Windy and cloudy with a chance of snow north. Mostly sunny with isolated thunderstorms late in the afternoon southeast. Highs in the lower 30s up north to mid-40s and lower 50s south. A wind advisory is in effect through this evening. It looks like Minnesota may have broken a weather record. Law enforcement reported a tornado near Princeton, Minn., late Monday afternoon. National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Krause says if confirmed, the tornado would be the earliest in the year ever for Minnesota. He says the previous record was a tornado on March 18, 1968, near St. James, in southern Minnesota. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog
