Good Thursday morning everyone. We have rain showers continuing through Central Minnesota this morning:
Two lines of broken, scattered storms will likely develop later this afternoon and into the evening/overnight hours. Note, latest data did trend quite a bit weaker and slightly slower with this system, but I do think that the risk is there for scattered strong storms to develop with isolated strong wind gusts and hail.
