(KNSI) — Organizers say due to the threat of severe weather, Summertime by George is canceled for Wednesday night.
The National Weather Service says the St. Cloud area is in the slight, or two out of five, risk for significant severe storms today. This is due to the warm temperatures, which will climb into the low 90s and the high dewpoints in the mid 70s. That will give the area a heat index or “feels like factor” approaching the upper 90s and even may push into triple digit territory in some spots. THose ingredients should be enough to destabilize the environment.
The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Stearns, Kandiyohi, Morrison counties and areas to the northwest, but the watch line may march east as the day wears on.
A watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms to form. Storms may include heavy rain. frequent lightning, high winds over 58 miles an hour, and/or hail at least one inch in diameter.
No make up date has been announced.
