Minnesota’s Weather Authority has issued a Forecast First Alert for Sunday evening through Monday.
Several rounds of storms are expected late this weekend and into early next week. Some of those could become severe.
Minnesota’s Weather Authority will continue to monitor these systems and will share updates as they move closer.
Timing
The main concern for severe weather starts after 7 p.m. Sunday and continues overnight into Monday.
The next round is looking likely to arrive Monday afternoon, but the intensity could be impacted by Sunday’s wave.
