Monday will be cloudy, windy and warm with high temperatures expected to top out in the 80s. Winds will be breezy, gusting up to 30 mph in the afternoon. The southerly wind will bring in moisture that will help storms to develop later in the evening.

The week starts with plenty of sunshine ahead of a round of strong to severe storms that may bring damaging winds, hail and possible tornadoes to the area.

Monday is probably the peak of this event, but a concerning storm risk shifts eastward Tuesday. Cities in the highest risk for tornadoes include Minneapolis and Rochester in Minnesota and La Crosse in Wisconsin.
