Original Post: We are watching an increasing threat of severe storms later this afternoon and evening over a good portion of Minnesota. A Slight Risk of Severe Storms has been places in portions of northern, central, and eastern Minnesota, mainly for the threat of large hail and some damaging winds. The Storm Prediction Center has issued Mesoscale Discussion 832 talking about the threat, and saying that a Severe Thunderstorm Watch could be issued within the next few hours (with storm development underway right now). Storm can currently be seen in eastern Stearns as of 2 PM and moving towards the STC area. Will update later today with more information, plus is there is any watches issued.
