The National Weather Service has cancelled the severe thunderstorm watch that had been in effect for portions of west-central Minnesota.

In addition to the watches, the NWS Storm Prediction Center shows a slight risk (shaded yellow) of severe weather Sunday afternoon and Sunday night for much of Minnesota and parts of west-central and northwestern Wisconsin:

The northern half of the Twin Cities metro area is included in that slight risk area, which indicates that scattered severe t-storms are possible. The best chance of severe weather in the Twin Cities metro area would tend to be late Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening, with an isolated severe thunderstorm possible earlier.

An isolated severe thunderstorm is possible this afternoon and tonight in the darker-green shaded area that includes the south metro and southern Minnesota.

Check forecast updates and be sky aware today and this evening.
