A large cluster of severe thunderstorms that’s been downing trees and power lines from northern Minnesota into Wisconsin since Wednesday morning will continue plowing southeastward across the western Great Lakes region through tonight. Cities such as Milwaukee and Chicago could be affected at some point.

Of even greater concern, however, are thunderstorms firing up farther west through southern Minnesota and Iowa. These thunderstorms were starting to gain strength early this afternoon and will become more powerful through early tonight as they target areas from northeastern Iowa into southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Tornadoes, destructive winds and large hail will all be threats.
