A multiday outbreak of severe weather is underway and will spread from the Great Plains to the Midwest and South through Tuesday.Tornadoes – some possibly strong – damaging hail and destructive straight-line winds are all potential threats.

Cities such as Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee are at risk for a severe weather outbreak, forecasters said.

Meteorologist Jake Beitlich says a strong, low-pressure system brought gusty winds and severe storms to parts of the state on Thursday. Tornadoes were reported far northwest by Grand Forks and Crookston, wet central Minnesota near Benson, a “skinny-rope” tornado near Montevideo, and another near Spring Hill.
