The Twin Cities metro area is no longer in the severe thunderstorm watch, but the metro area could see an isolated thunderstorm this morning and late afternoon, followed by an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms later this evening and overnight.

In addition to the remaining counties in the severe thunderstorm watch, an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm is possible this morning and early afternoon in portions of northern and central Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin.

You can hear updated weather information for Minnesota and western Wisconsin on the Minnesota Public Radio News network, and you can see updated weather info on the MPR News live weather blog.
