Watching a couple showers and embedded thunderstorms make their way southward from just southwest of the Twin Cities metro to Mankato as we enter the early afternoon hours. Most of the viewing area may see these passing showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two early this afternoon as this round passes through. Not expecting everyone to see rain though and certainly not expecting the rain to last all day! Just something to keep an eye on if you have any Friday afternoon plans outdoors.
ALERT DAY: Tracking severe t-storm potential later this evening
A weak cold front passes through tonight into Friday morning. An upper level trough may lead to enough destabilization of our atmosphere for a shower or two later tonight and into tomorrow. Most places will be dry; however, there will be more clouds than sun tomorrow thanks to remnant of a storm system blowing up over eastern Colorado, western Kansas and southwestern Nebraska.
