The wider storm

A mid-level wave had moved into western Minnesota and increased moisture and surface-based instability during the afternoon of September 1st. This led to diurnal convective activity mainly west of the I-35 corridor for that afternoon. The threat of severe weather was low, however weak shear and steep lapse rates existed in the 0-3km level, which led to a brief funnel cloud developing with one cell approximately two miles east of Blomkest, MN.

Began near Blomkest (44.9500, -94.9900).
