A Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms has been issued for the Upper Midwest including all of the local area. A low pressure system will tack through Minnesota trailing a cold front that spark thunderstorms from around the Twin Cities southward through Southern Minnesota into Iowa. There is a chance that some of these storms could develop large hail and damaging winds, and a chance for a tornado. Heavy downpours are also a risk by these storms. The best chance of severe weather will be if we can get some afternoon sunshine, and the timing of the storms will be in the afternoon. People should be aware there is a chance that a few storms could become strong severe tomorrow.
