The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch until midnight for much of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities.
The watch also includes St. Cloud, Willmar, Brainerd, Grand Rapids, Alexandria, Detroit Lakes and Moorhead.
The Weather Service says large hail, damaging winds and perhaps a few tornadoes are possible as storms move southeast across the watch area.
Several warnings — including a couple tornado warnings for radar-indicated rotation — were in effect in northwestern Minnesota as of 3:50 p.m.
