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.

He says the previous record was a tornado on March 18, 1968, near St. James, in southern Minnesota. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog

Good morning! Partly sunny with a chance of snow in southern Minnesota. Highs in the teens north to around 30 south. It's only Thursday but it's been quite the week already for weird loose animal news. On Monday, police had to search for a cow in the road (a sheriff's deputy unfortunately hit the cow in the road and it died). Then on Wednesday, police had to wrangle two llamas on the lam. A police spokesperson says the llamas had somehow gotten loose and were just hanging out along a road. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog
