This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central and
southern Minnesota, and west central Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop late this afternoon in
western Minnesota and continue through the night across central
and southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. There is a level 2
of 5 severe risk for most of central and southern Minnesota, with
a level 1 risk in Wisconsin. Damaging wind gusts will be the
primary risk, with a risk for large hail and a tornado or two in
western Minnesota. In addition to the severe risk, the potential
for multiple rounds of thunderstorms over the same location will
lead to a risk for flash flooding, especially across west central
and central Minnesota.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and occasionally severe weather
will continue through Wednesday night. The severe weather and
heavy rainfall risks for Wednesday will shift to south central
and east central Minnesota into west central Wisconsin.

This weekend, heat and humidity are expected to build back into
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Afternoon heat index values near 100
Sunday and Monday will lead to an increased risk for dangerous
heat late this weekend into early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN spotter activation may be needed.
