Severe storms roll through Minnesota Monday night; more storms Tuesday

Severe storms that swept through Minnesota on Monday evening and night prompted weather warnings across the northern and central regions of the state. More storms are expected on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch until 2 a.m. Tuesday for Chippewa, Lac Qui Parle and Swift counties in west-central Minnesota, and Aitkin County in east-central Minnesota.

Tornado warnings that were issued parts of northwestern Minnesota on Monday evening, along with severe thunderstorm warnings for several counties in the state, have since expired.

The Twin Cities will stay mostly cloudy late Monday before a line of storms passes through overnight. 

Highs will be in the upper 80s Tuesday before more storms arrive.   

Expect more scattered showers and isolated storms on Wednesday, with highs in the low 80s.

The metro will dry out Thursday as humidity and heat build. Highs could reach into the low-90s again by the weekend.
