Confidence continues to grow in the potential for strong to severe storms across parts of Minnesota on Monday.

Because of that increasing threat, Minnesota’s Weather Authority has issued a Forecast First Alert to make sure you’re aware and prepared. Timing and details will come into better focus over the weekend, but this is one of those days you’ll want to stay connected to the forecast.

Even with all these storm chances, it’s important to note: no day looks like a total washout. There will be plenty of dry stretches between the raindrops.

See below for KSTP’s current weather forecast:

After a few leftover showers Friday morning, skies will slowly clear today and partial sunshine along with dry weather will return for the rest of the day.

Saturday still looks like the better day this weekend with mostly sunny skies before another batch of unsettled weather heads our way with showers and a few thunderstorms on Sunday.

Look for possible severe thunderstorms by Monday afternoon and evening.
