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. KDS
