A look at all the warnings the Duluth NWS issued from July 26 to July 27, 2021, and hail tracks.
Zoomed in view of the Twin Ports showing the storm reports from Monday.
Zoomed out view showing storm reports from July 26-27, 2021.
We don’t see supercell thunderstorms too often around here, especially closer to Lake Superior, but Monday was an exception as we saw three supercells in a broken line move southeast out of Itasca and west-central St. Louis Counties.
An impressive looking radar image from Monday evening as a supercell was moving into Duluth.
Central and southern portions of the Northland picked up some decent rainfall on Monday, while far northern Minnesota and the Arrowhead saw little to no rain.
