National Weather Service Issues Tornado Watch for Dakota County Tuesday Night

Take a moment to review your safety procedures for tonight.

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for Dakota, Scott, Hennepin, Ramsey, Carver, Washington, Anoka and Rice. The warning will end at midnight.

Tornado watches are typically issued in advance of bad weather. The watch is intended to give people time to review tornado safety rules and identify a safe place to stay if dangerous weather moves in.

A storm warning was issued earlier this evening for southern Dakota County cities. That has since expired.
