Tornadoes confirmed in Minnesota's Washington and McLeod counties and Polk County, Wisconsin

The National Weather Service has confirmed that storm damage Sunday was caused by tornadoes that hit portions of the east metro area, western Wisconsin and McLeod County to the west of the metro area.

No injuries were reported, but city and county workers, neighbors and tree care companies were out Monday cleaning up downed trees.

According to the weather service, an EF1 tornado moved from Forest Lake to the southern edge of Chisago County. Two EF0 tornados and one EF1 were confirmed in McLeod County, and another touched down in Polk County, Wisconsin.

All the tornadoes were rated as weak on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

Most of the structural damage in Minnesota was limited to outbuildings, though about a dozen homes in Scandia also reported damage.

"It really did kind of dodge around a lot of areas it needed to," said Chris O'Brien, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Chanhassen.

According to the weather service, Minnesota has seen about 25 tornadoes this year. Much of the metro area was under a tornado watch late into Sunday night.

As of about 7 p.m. Sunday, more than 2,100 Xcel Energy customers in Minnesota and western Wisconsin were without power due to storm-related outages.

Unlike the severe weather that moved through the Twin Cities on Friday night, Sunday's storms didn't bring much lightning and came with a low cloud layer, said Brent Hewett, a meteorologist with the Weather Service office in Chanhassen. The storm cells were embedded in a low-pressure system ahead of a cold front, he said.

"These [storms] are definitely something we have to keep an eye on this time of year," Hewett said.

The week ahead looks to be cooler and drier in the Twin Cities, with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s and rain holding off until Friday.
