(KNSI) — The Storm Prediction Center has central Minnesota pegged for severe weather Monday.
Forecasters say strong storms are moving through South Dakota this morning. The speed at which they are moving could outpace any stability in the atmosphere and cause some isolated strong to severe storms. The greatest threat with these cells is large hail. Strong winds are also not out of the question. The SPC has issued a slight risk – or two out of five – of severe weather for central Minnesota.
The second round of storms could develop this afternoon after the first system moves off to the east, but those are more likely east of the St. Cloud area. After these storms move out, here comes the wind.
A wind advisory is in place from 1:00 Monday afternoon until 7:00 Monday evening. Southwest winds are expected from 25 to 30 miles an hour, with wind gusts around 45.
Most of the week, there is a chance of thunderstorms, with some potentially reaching severe levels. The greatest chances are for Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night and again Thursday afternoon and Thursday night.
