JUNE 7, 2020 MINNESOTA: TORNADO WARNED SUPERCELLS NEAR THE CANADA BORDER
First severe thunderstorm of the day near Karlstad, MN. Heck of a core here!
Decent structure on the storm near Donaldson, MN. Inflow scud condensing on the right side.
Rotating wall cloud wrapping up quickly near Lake Bronson, MN.
Got up close to the wall cloud northeast of Lake Bronson, MN with a nub funnel trying to form in the middle. Very fast condensation right to left into this wall cloud.
Funnel in the middle as the wall cloud tightened up.
Another shot of the funnel becoming more ragged here but the white wall cloud in front of us tightening up.
Tornado warned storm, again near Donaldson, MN at the end of the day. Lots of interesting features/motion underneath this base.
Mesoscale discussion issued at 2:00 pm CDT. 95% chance of a tornado watch being issued. Severe thunderstorms expected to develop with a tornado threat, especially along the warm front. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0869.html

Mesoscale discussion update issued at 6:00 pm CDT for the severe thunderstorm watch area in South Dakota. Mentions hail and wind being the main threats but notice on the storm reports that all the tornadoes were in this area! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0875.html
Mesoscale discussion issued at 8:42 pm CDT. Image describes what’s going on… starting to merge into a cluster/QLCS while more discrete cells remain in our area we were chasing in far northwest Minnesota. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0877.html
