Summary
Wednesday brings the highest threat to the Twin Cities, with severe thunderstorms possible late afternoon and evening and all major hazards in play—tornadoes, damaging winds, hail and heavy rain.
Near-90-degree heat and humid air will build into the metro before storms develop, after a hotter Tuesday with heat index values in the low 90s.
Spotty storms may arrive earlier, with some activity possible Monday morning and again after midnight Tuesday into Wednesday, especially over far western Minnesota where gusty winds, hail and heavy rain could develop.
Cooler, less humid air is expected to move in after the midweek system, though a few thunderstorms could linger Thursday before weekend highs settle into the mid-70s.
