front. Peak heat indices from 95 to 105 degrees are expected
generally east of Interstate 35.

Thunderstorms are possible today associated with the aforementioned front. At this time the highest chance for severe storms looks to be this afternoon and evening, primarily south and east of a Redwood Falls to Twin Cities to Taylors Falls Wisconsin

large hail and damaging winds. A tornado or two cannot be ruled
out, primarily from southern Minnesota into west central
Wisconsin.
