Severe Weather Threatens Minnesota with Hail, Winds, and Possible Tornadoes
Minnesota is bracing for another round of severe weather on Wednesday afternoon following overnight storms that caused significant disruptions. According to CBS News Minnesota, the first wave of storms brought heavy rain, with some areas receiving over half an inch, and left more than 52,000 residents without power, particularly in Ramsey County. The upcoming storms, expected after 2 p.m., could bring large hail, damaging winds, and even tornadoes, especially in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The Twin Cities remain under threat despite the eastward shift of the storm system. Cooler air is forecast to arrive by Thursday, with temperatures dropping into the 70s°F (21-26°C) by Friday, accompanied by lower humidity and isolated rain chances over the weekend.
