Weather
A low-pressure system is moving through the Plains and Upper Midwest Thursday which could provide some severe thunderstorms to southern Minnesota, Iowa, northern Missouri, and eastern Nebraska during the afternoon and evening. Some of the stronger storms that develop could produce damaging hail, strong straight-line winds, and a few isolated tornadoes.
