A good potential for tornadic supercells existed from southwestern MN south-southwestward. Kim and I sat in Marshall most of the day, awaiting initiation. By about 6pm, I decided to start heading back towards the Twin Cities... Supercells did develop in southwestern MN as we made our way home. Lovely.
