Strong to severe thunderstorms for the area tonight

Temperatures close to 95 degrees with dew points near 70 will create an unstable environment for thunderstorms to work with tonight.

A couple of the high-resolution models show storms initiating close to the Twin Cities during after the dinner hour going into the night.

The Storm Prediction Center is indicating a slight risk of severe thunderstorms for far southern Minnesota with wind and hail as the primary threats.

There may be brief periods of severe thunderstorms, but most of the activity should remain below severe limits as strong storms.  Just something to keep an eye on for those getting an early start on 4th of July celebrations.
