DISCUSSION: As a weak pulse of energy quickly moved across parts of the North-Central Plains throughout the course of Thursday and on into the day on Friday, several areas of intense thunderstorm congealed into a large bowing line of intense thunderstorms. Not too long after they organized, they began to race off to the east and southeast with strong winds and isolated areas of damaging hail being the primary threat as the bowing thunderstorm segments moved through regions of particularly enhanced convective instability (i.e., atmospheric instability favorable for the development and maintenance of strong to severe thunderstorms over a long distance and therefore of a long duration). Therefore, as you will notice in the time-lapse radar animation below as captured from earlier today, you will clearly see the array of severe thunderstorm warnings which were issued in association with the eastward propagation of this bowing thunderstorm line! Though these storms were quick-moving, they certainly packed quite a nasty punch across parts of Central/Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin earlier yesterday evening!
