April 20th Wright County

Well, this ended up being more interesting than expected with the closed vertically stacked low moving over Minnesota tonight.

Small cell starts to initiate over Buffalo, MN.

Thanks to Eric Whitehill for the updates and the GR Level 3 screen shots.

With light winds, extremely cold air aloft and a pretty healthy updraft, the dreaded "cold air funnel" appears near the Buffalo High School.  View is looking southwest from just east of Lake Pulaski. Total elapsed time was about 2 minutes.  Note how it really tightened up nicely for a couple of frames from the video grabs.

Rainbow east of Buffalo as the "shower" really got going.

Sure wasn't expecting this.  Just east of Buffalo, MN.

Near Hanover, MN.  Hail was pushing dime size.

Updraft area with inflow band near Hanover, MN looking east.
