The prospects today weren't incredibly good, but strong enough for me to take a trip to southwestern Minnesota. I kept heading west until it looked like storms were going to develop... I made it pretty close to the MN/SD border, before turning around and heading back home. Storms didn't really get going until after dark... Can I have another cap bust PLEASE? Ugh.
