FOX 9 meteorologist Cody Matz has more on what to expect with the ongoing heat and possible storms Monday afternoon and evening.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Morning thunderstorms will move out of Minnesota Monday before hot sunshine takes over, though another round of storms could develop later in the day as a cold front approaches.
Monday’s forecast in Minnesota
The forecast:
Monday begins with thunderstorms across central and southern Minnesota, along with some lingering wildfire smoke, though southwest winds will quickly push the remaining smoke east.
The Twin Cities metro turns mostly sunny after the morning storms, with a daytime high around 93 degrees. A heat advisory is in effect for the metro from noon until 6 p.m. as heat index values approach the upper 90s.
Storm chances on Monday
A cold front moving across Minnesota could trigger isolated to scattered thunderstorms Monday afternoon.
The Twin Cities remains under a Level 1 marginal risk for severe weather, while southeastern Minnesota is under a Level 2 slight to Level 3 enhanced risk.
The best chance for storms is noon to 4 p.m. in the Twin Cities and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. across the broader FOX 9 viewing area. If storms develop, wind gusts over 60 mph, hail up to 2 inches in diameter, torrential rainfall and isolated tornadoes are possible.
