#MNwx #NDwx #SDwx #WIwx Stormy Few Days East. E.
Key Points: July 5, 2017
Synopsis: Good Wednesday morning! We are tracking storms moving along a cold front in Minnesota and Wisconsin today. These will pack a punch bringing damaging winds and hail risks today in Minnesota and the Dakotas and then again tomorrow across Wisconsin. Further west, most of the Dakotas look dry to end the work week as slightly cooler air works in. Northwest flow will work into the region for next week leading to increased shower and thunderstorm activity especially east. Additional heat is expected in Dakotas, leading to more heat stress along with drier than normal conditions. Have a blessed day!
