WATCH: See Minnesota’s Monday Tornado Outbreak As Captured On Video

Over the last couple of days, confidence among forecasters grew that an outbreak of storms was increasingly likely across Minnesota to start this week.

Among the risks with Monday's storms were the chances of tornadoes, and several were reported around Minnesota as the storms swept through the state through the afternoon and evening hours.

At certain points of Monday afternoon, multiple tornado warnings were in effect simultaneously across Minnesota. One such instance of that was in the 5 pm hour on Monday evening, when there were 7 different tornado warnings all active at once.
