Round one of storms is moving across southern Minnesota Wednesday morning. Some storms may be strong to severe with large hail and some damaging wind gusts. We’ll then see more storms develop Wednesday evening into the overnight. Those late day storms have a higher risk of producing severe weather. 

There’s an enhanced (level 3 of 5) severe risk across southern Minnesota into western Wisconsin for severe storms Wednesday into Wednesday night.

Wednesday will be a touch cooler due to the clouds and thunderstorms with highs mainly in the 80s but it will still be muggy.

Thursday will be hotter and muggy again with partly cloudy skies. Afternoon highs will be near 90 across southern Minnesota with mainly 80s north.

We’ll likely see more, at least scattered storms develop Thursday night, potentially lingering into Friday morning. 

There is a slight risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms Thursday night as well.

The pattern remains unsettled into Saturday night with some storms possible Friday night and late Saturday as a weak cool front advances across Minnesota. Sunday and Monday will bring a slight drop in temperatures and dew points.
