Storms develop Thursday in Twin Cities, with more rain chances ahead

Storms moving into the Twin Cities metro late Thursday afternoon could bring hail and heavy rain.

There could also be some strong wind gusts up to 60 mph, and the possibility of an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. The severe threat increases across southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. 

The Twin Cities and parts of western Wisconsin and southern Minnesota are under a severe thunderstorm watch until 10 p.m.

Rain and a few lingering showers continue into early Friday, followed by a mostly cloudy and cooler day with a high near 52.

Saturday brings clearer skies and temps in the mid-50s as high pressure briefly settles in.

A potential system Sunday into Monday could bring more rain, but confidence is low with models split on timing and track.
