The winds are still blowing in from the southwest at around 15mph and is providing moisture/warm air and the barometer is falling. A cold front is moving through MN currently with some cooler air behind it, this scenario is a perfect setup to see some thunderstorms/rain today.In addition to the cold front a low pressure system sitting in Iowa is also associated with this front which could also cause some storms.
