This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southeast
Minnesota...northeast Iowa and southwest into central Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms expected this morning and then
again mid to late afternoon. Both have the potential to produce
severe weather, with winds up to 60 mph this morning and hail up
to around 1 inch in diameter this afternoon. Confidence in storms
reaching severe levels today is on the lower side.

Heavy rainfall is also expected this morning with amounts over 2
inches possible over southeast Minnesota. This could lead to
localized flooding in areas of poor drainage.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Very warm to hot and humid conditions on Tuesday with highest
heat index values of 90 to near 100.

A few strong to severe storms are possible Tuesday night, mostly
west of the Mississippi River. Some flood risk may develop where
repeated rounds of storms occur.

Additional rounds of heavy rainfall are possible towards the end
of the week, which will increase the risk of river and flash
flooding.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is unlikely, but reports of any wind, hail, and
rainfall would be appreciated.

.EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATION...

No webinar is scheduled.
