Getting Back Up to Speed- May 1-2 Recap

I have been having some issues getting blogs posted lately. It took two days for the post below to show up. Hopefully now things are back to normal.

Quick recap of the severe weather threat that I blogged about way back at the beginning of May. We ha two rounds of severe weather. The first round was in the form of tornadic supercells that produced rotation over the metro and a couple isolated tornadoes. Later that night, a very strong bow echo moved across the city, producing widespread 60-80mph winds and wind damage. The bow echo also produced two tornadoes in the northland, one and EF-2 and one an EF-3. Here are a couple of radar images from that night.
