While checking on Rita, I found this. What the heck is going on near the Great Lakes?

That would be the storm system that dropped a tornado in Minneapolis earlier this evening.
Wow. That storm is about an hour out from where i am located.
The finasl gasp of humidity for the summer. Wicked storms all over this area up here tonite. Still going too.
That's unusual in shape. Actually, there is some severe weather moving across Wisconsin according to other radar sites. Probably a cold front.
Some nasty weather to be sure
