July 14th, 2009 - Tornado Warned cell near St. Cloud, MN
Nice local chase near St. Cloud on the warm front after work! Thanks goodness nothing touched down while the meso passed over St. Cloud State University. Gorgeous structure, low LCL's, a couple funnels and possible brief touchdown.
Very low meso...almost on the ground! Approaching from the East. This was in St. Augusta.
Wall cloud on the ground over SE side of St. Cloud
Under the meso!
Lots of rising motion
Needle funnel over the Mississippi near SCSU
Funnel wrapping
up over my head along Hwy 10 just ENE of St. Cloud!
Wall cloud tightens up further NE of St. Cloud
And gets lower...
Possible brief touchdown at this time. Didn't last long! Notice the old wall cloud in the foreground..
