MINNEAPOLIS— Now that morning storms have passed in northern Minnesota, the state is preparing for a second round that could bring widespread severe weather.
WCCO is under a NEXT weather warning due to the threat of severe storms. A tornado watch has also been issued for most of the state, from northern Minnesota to the Iowa border. The watch lasts until 8 p.m

A second round of storms will develop in the west in the late afternoon. A line of storms stretching north to south across the state will move east and hit the metro around the evening rush hour.
The storms will continue into the night before moving into western Wisconsin, likely around 10 p.m. There is a small risk of severe weather with this line, and some roads near Henderson are closed due to high water.

It will cool down to the low 70s on Wednesday, then warm up a bit on Thursday and even more on Friday.
Wednesday should be mainly dry, but there will be a chance of showers every other day for the rest of the week, with further showers possible on Saturday.
