Multi-day severe weather threat looms for Minnesota and the Plains
Multi-day severe weather threat looms for Minnesota and the Plains originally appeared on Bring Me The News. The severe weather season could be ramping up in the Plains and Upper Midwest over the next week, with a target on Minnesota perhaps developing for Monday. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued slight risks for severe storms Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. You can see the Day 4 risk for Monday is centered over South Dakota and Minnesota, reaching as far east as the Twin Cities metro. But Monday isn't the only day that strong or severe storms could pop in Minnesota. It's possible that intense storms develop Saturday evening and Sunday evening as well. "Currently, the best timing for rain each day looks to be in the afternoon and evening hours with showers and storms losing steam overnight with the loss of heating. Strong to severe storms will be a possibility each afternoon/evening through Wednesday," the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities said Friday. "It seems most probable that we'll see something similar to what we saw Thursday (a couple of isolated strong to severe storms each day)." One storm Thursday ripped through Hutchinson and produced an 86 mph wind gust, leaving behind extensive roof and tree damage. You can see the European model below supports an energized environment on Saturday evening with ample Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE). The environment could allow for more strong storms to develop on Sunday evening. The atmosphere then gets even more primed for severe storms on Monday. The European model's lightning simulation Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning shows potential for a big line of storms roaring through the slight risk zone. The main threats, according to the Storm Prediction Center, will be large hail and damaging winds. One thing driving the heavy rain and severe threat will be rising dew points, which will soar into the upper 60s and low 70s Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Further protests are expected across the country, including in San Diego, California, where a rally was scheduled for from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Civic Center Plaza, 1200 Third Ave. Meanwhile, a demonstration was scheduled to take place in New York City on June 14 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Bryant Park, located at 5th Ave. and East 41st St. What People Are Saying Organizers of the protests say on the "No Kings" website: "On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else. "Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption." President Donald Trump said on Meet the Press in May about the parade: "I view it for Flag Day, not necessarily my birthday. Somebody put it together. But no, I think we're going to do something on June 14, maybe or somewhere around there. But I think June 14—it's a very important day." What Happens Next Forecasters previously told Newsweek that those attending the military parade itself may need to watch the skies and pack rain gear, as showers may affect the Washington, D.C. area on Saturday.
