SPC mesoscale discussion highlights west central Minnesota for a possible severe weather watch.

Storms are firing near Alexandria early this afternoon. Doppler indicates the presence of large hail as big as 2 inches in diameter with this storm.

SPC is monitoring the area and may issue a watch soon for the area.

So far all is quiet in southern Minnesota, but the sun is causing rapid heating and destabilization of the atmosphere and storms may begin to develop soon.
