Thunderstorms at times Sunday and Sunday night
Minnesota and western Wisconsin will see periods of rain and thunderstorms Sunday and Sunday night. Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible.
Saturday was definitely the nicer day of the weekend. Our Sunday will feature periods of rain with some embedded thunderstorms.
We’ll have a mixed bag of weather this weekend. We’ll have a beautiful Saturday, followed by some showers and thunderstorms at times on Sunday.
Severe thunderstorm watch until 1 a.m. includes part of Twin Cities
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 1 a.m. Saturday for east-central Minnesota, including roughly the northeast half of the Twin Cities metro area. Tennis ball-sized hail has been reported in Sauk Rapids, Minn.
Dew points will ramp up Friday afternoon, and high temperatures will reach the upper 80s. Parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin could see some strong to severe thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening.
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible in northwestern Minnesota late Thursday afternoon. The thunderstorms are expected to spread southeastward Thursday evening.
Thursday’s storm risk looks spotty and iffy to me. We’ll see a few spotty thundershowers. A couple may reach severe limits but the setup is weak compared to last Friday’s derecho scenario.
