August 3rd Sibley County Minnesota

Earlier storm near Big Lake, MN which would go on to be tornado warned in Washington County to the east.

Roll cloud on ealier storm in Anoka County as I head out.

Couple of analog video grabs looking west at the WCCO radio reported "wedge".  This is not a tornado but rather a large bowl shaped lowering under the meso.  Rotation was minimal and never really produce anything.

Let the meso and action area pass overhead as no hail and no real tornado threat.  Looking east.

Occlusion as RFD cuts in.  Tornado reported by law enforcement at this time.  Approximately 7:10 pm.

One of my favorite leaning corn shots as the storm gusts itself out.

Lining out as the cell merges with cells to the south and a shelf forms.

Still a fun chase for August considering the synoptic pattern.

Back of the cell looking west as the storm dives to the southeast..
