Severe again
Here we go again. Another round of severe weather for Minnesota.
A line of storms will spread from northwest to southeast ahead of a cold front sweeping across Minnesota tonight. Individual storms are moving east to northeast along that line.
Here are some resources to keep track of warnings in your area. I'll post storm reports as I get them.
Stay safe and stay tuned!
