Meteorologist Megan Moulford joined me on WJON today. She says to alleviate the effects of the drought we would need an inch of rain for three straight weeks. She says who is hit hardest by the drought in Minnesota varies depending on the amount of rain they have received this summer.
A radar indicated severe thunderstorm warning was issued by the National Weather Service at 1:37 a.m. for southeastern Todd County, Northern Stearns and southwestern Morrison Counties in central Minnesota until 2:15 a.m.
Severe weather is a possibility for much of Minnesota Wednesday into Thursday with rain and storms in the forecast. I talked with meteorologist Megan Moulford from weatherology.com. She says to have a thunderstorm 3 ingredients are needed; moisture, instability and lift.
