Forecast First Alert: Severe storms on Monday
Here’s your Monday afternoon forecast for June 16, 2025.
A Forecast First Alert continues for Monday evening. Severe storms have touched down with big hail, strong winds, and a few tornadoes.
There was a line of dying storms moving through the Twin Cities around midday Monday. These storms had downpours and lightning as well as some gusty winds.
Storms developed in western and southwest Minnesota after 2:00 PM, then moved east later in the day. Storms with big hail and a few tornadoes popped up west of the Twin Cities.
Damaging winds and hail arrived in the Twin Cities between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The heavy rain from these storms could slow things down, even if they are not severe.
Looking ahead, Tuesday and Wednesday bring a brief lull in activity. While storm chances are lower, the humidity sticks around, and a few pop-up showers can’t be ruled out.
By Thursday, storm chances increase again, especially late in the day and at night. Scattered thunderstorms are expected Friday as well, as we continue navigating this active stretch of weather.
Things heat up just in time for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday look mostly sunny, hot, and humid, with highs pushing into the 90s. Summer arrives in full force, though the heat may set the stage for more storms next week.
Stay weather-aware tonight and keep your devices charged in case additional warnings are issued.
