Low level moisture will increase northward Friday ahead of a cold front. The timing of the cold front will determine the location of potential severe storm development.

All hazards are possible, including large hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.

Morning clouds and a few showers, then clearing. Less windy today with a northwest wind 12 to 25 mph. Highs mostly in the 70s. Winds turning southerly Thursday and warmer with plenty of sun. A cold front pushes through Friday and ahead of it a chance for severe t-storms over parts of north central and west central Minnesota. Cooler for the weekend.
