Supercell thunderstorm which moved across southern Carlton County Minnesota Saturday evening had a rather interesting look to it on radar imagery.
No reports of tornadoes with this storm, but this storm had a rather well defined hook echo appearance to it for a brief time.
Notice the blue areas between Barnum and Moose Lake on the CC imagery from Saturday evening, sometimes this can mean a debris ball was being picked up on radar, but no reports of that with this storm, looked interesting though!
Even noticed a brief red/green couplet on radar between Barnum and Moose Lake Saturday evening.
Major hail with both supercells north and south of Duluth Saturday evening, but the one north of Duluth produced the largest hail, bigger than baseball size!
Supercell which moved through southern Carlton County Minnesota eventually moved into west-central Douglas County Wisconsin just before 9 PM Saturday, and once again it had a rather interesting look to it on radar imagery.
Supercell which passed north of Duluth Saturday evening had pretty strong rotation on it at times as shown by the red and blue colors on the image below.
