Greatest threat now is west of St. Cloud - but strong/severe storms are likely closer to the Twin Cities by late afternoon or evening. The potential for hail/isolated tornadoes is high today - I do expect a tornado watch to be issued close to home, with warnings issued for specific counties later in the day, closer to the dinner hour. Check back in for more updates...
