The National Weather Service says to allow extra time for the commute and use low-beam headlights. The advisory covers a wide swath of Minnesota from Willmar to St. Cloud to the eastern and southern border.

The Twin Cities is dealing with flooding, fog and...thunder?

Don't be surprised to wake to the sound of thunder this morning. Showers with a few embedded lightning strikes are lifting through Twin Cities early this morning.
