MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Hot and steamy before storms Tuesday with a rainy and cooler Wednesday to follow.
Severe Thunderstorm watch until 10 p.m.
What we know:
The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 10 p.m. Tuesday that includes parts of the north Twin Cities metro. The watch includes many areas from St. Clout to Duluth, and extends as far south as St. Michael, Rogers and Maple Grove.
FOX 9 Meteorologist Cody Matz says gusty winds and flash flooding will be the main threats, but large hail and an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.
Storms possible on Tuesday
What to expect:
A heat advisory is in effect for the Twin Cities until 8 p.m. this evening. Temperatures will heat up into the lower 90s and, with dew points near 70, will lead to feels like temperatures in the mid and upper 90s.
A cold front will fire numerous storms in northwestern Minnesota that will strengthen as they track southeast into our steamy air mass across the southern half of the state. Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible in the mid-afternoon into the evening. The chance of storms moves into the Twin Cities metro later in the evening.
These storms carry a level 1 marginal risk of severe weather for the metro and parts of northern Minnesota, and a level two slight risk for parts of central and western Minnesota. Hail, strong wind gusts of 60+ mph, localized downpours, and a very low risk of isolated tornadoes are possible with these storms.
Extended forecast
What’s next:
Rain and rumbles will linger into the first part of Wednesday with lighter showers for the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will stay cooler Wednesday through Friday with highs mainly in the 70s.
Watch for a few rumbles on Saturday with weekend highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
