Current Watches and Warnings
Severe weather watches and warnings and winter weather watches/warnings are available from the National Weather Service Twin Cities Forecast Office
www.weather.govHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
Direct answer
- A tornado watch is active in parts of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities metro, with the watch typically valid until around 8 p.m. local time on the day of issuance.[1][2]
Context and what to do
- If you’re in Minnesota, monitor National Weather Service alerts for your specific county, as watch areas can shift and timing can vary by location. Expect threats from tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail, and possibly heavy rainfall.[2][1]
- Have a plan: identify a safe interior space away from windows, gather a NOAA weather radio or phone alerts, andถ stay tuned to local stations for updates and instructions.[1][2]
Illustrative notes
- The Twin Cities and central/southern Minnesota are commonly included in these watches during springtime severe weather setups, with subsequent warnings or new watches issued as storms develop.[2][1]
If you’d like, I can check for the very latest county-level watch status for your exact location in New York City or provide a quick one-page safety checklist. I can also pull a current update from official sources if you want.
