‘Significant Severe Weather’ In Store For The Rest Of April In Minnesota

Ope. It looks like the tides are turning and winter really may be gone for good because a popular weather analyst is now forecasting some pretty severe weather.

It's always hard to know for sure if winter is over because it wouldn't be out of the question to get a late April or early May snowstorm.

However, it looks like the tides may be changing. Earlier this month, I reached out to WDIO Meteorologist Lea Zmurko to see what she thought about winter ending, and at that time, she said it was pretty much behind us.

Now, a weather analyst who goes by Midwest Weather is echoing the same sentiment, and predicting some pretty scary weather for the rest of the month.

And so it begins! Midwest Weather says we can expect 'significant' severe weather for the remainder of April and even into early May in Minnesota.

We are getting our first round of spring storms today and into the weekend in our neck of the woods! According to Midwest Weather's post, Minnesotans can expect the trend to continue, writing:

The active pattern will continue well past this weekend with even greater chances of significant severe weather in the last several days of April and into May.

OPE.

An Active Severe Weather Pattern In Minnesota

Midwest Weather also reports that an 'active severe weather pattern' will continue for a few weeks, even leading into early May in the Northland. Spring is really coming in hot!

I absolutely love a good rainy day or thunderstorm. They are my absolute favorite and I can never get enough of them. I think that is a Minnesota thing, no?

With that being said, this is a great time to brush up on what you should do in case of a weather emergency or severe weather. If you haven't done that in awhile, make sure you add it to your weekend to-do list.
