This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central and
southern Minnesota...and west central Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

There is an enhanced risk of severe weather. A complex of
thunderstorms is expected to impact the area from later this
afternoon into the evening hours, with the potential for
widespread damaging wind gusts. Some storms could produce large
hail and isolated tornadoes. Very heavy rainfall is also expected,
which could lead to localized flooding.

Storms are expected to move into west central Minnesota by mid to
late afternoon then track east-southeast across central and
southern Minnesota and portions of west central Wisconsin. The
complex of storms is expected to be large, so locations from around
I-94 south to the Iowa border may be impacted.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Thunderstorm chances return late Thursday night into Friday.
There is a slight risk of severe weather, mainly south of I-94.
Large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall appear to be the
primary threats.

Thunderstorms will be possible late Saturday and Sunday, and
again from Tuesday into Wednesday. Widespread severe weather
during those time frames is not anticipated at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN spotter activation will likely be needed later this
afternoon and this evening.
