Severe Storms May Roll In After A Sweltering Tuesday

UNDATED (WJON News) -- Tuesday will be hot and humid heat indices reaching the upper 90s.

A cold front sweeps through late Tuesday, creating a chance of severe storms across much of the area. Damaging Winds, Large Hail, and a tornado or two are possible.

St. Cloud has had 1.45 inches of rain so far in July, which is a quarter of an inch below normal.

The following counties have a heat advisory in effect from noon Tuesday until 8:00 p.m.  Tuesday: Anoka, Washington, Ramsey, Hennepin, Carver, Scott, and Dakota.

Plan accordingly to stay cool and beat the heat.
