After discussing with SPC, today's still ongoing thunderstorm complex will be considered a derecho.
The peak winds so far have been 96 mph in Huron, SD and 99 mph near Howard, SD but there have been many high wind reports.

🧐 This change will allow for more broad smartphone alerting for the most severe thunderstorms (hail of baseball or larger and/or wind gusts in excess of 80 mph) like last year's Derecho and the recent Des Moines Metro hailstorm. 👏 #iawx
Starting July 28, Severe Thunderstorms deemed “destructive” will activate a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) on smartphones. Criteria for a destructive threat is at least 2.75 inch diameter hail and/or 80 mph thunderstorm winds.

Here's an interesting stat we just stumbled on...the number of days with measurable rain at MSP this summer (6/1-7/21). It's just 7, the lowest number thru 7/21 on record. Fewer days than even 1988 thru this point (8 that year). Yup, another way to compare 2021 to 1988... #mnwx

Scattered storms are expected to develop this afternoon & evening across much of the area. The greatest threat for severe weather is long the MN/IA border into WI. More widespread storms are expected Sunday, but it's too early to tell whether they'll be severe.
