UPDATE 10:40 am edt
Parts of Iowa reporting damage to buildings including a roof blown off of a school. 60-90 mph winds in Independence, IA. A wind report of 93.9 mph in the area. I have seen observations of 68 and 74 mph in non-thunderstorm winds in southern MN.
-------------------
Despite the heavy rains, intense lightning for some, and damaging winds for others in our region, check out some of the weather conditions in parts of southern Minnesota, northern Iowa, and eastern South Dakota.
High wind warnings are in effect for a couple more hours. These are non-thunderstorm winds wrapping in behind a small scale low pressure area producing sustained 40-55 mph winds with gusts near 70 mph.
A recent observation at Worthington, MN, close to the southern state line shared with Iowa in the southwest part of Minnesota, had a sustained wind of 56 mph and gusts of 74 mph. Partly cloudy skies were noted.
True, there are mean storms ahead of the system, but the most likely scenario for damaging winds exist as low pressure scoots by.
This is only a brief event lasting a few hours but how remarkable a small scale storm system like this can have such a dramatic impact on one's weather. Definitely not something I would like to wake up to.
