Weather
A storm system continues to develop near the U.S.-Canada border in northern Minnesota on Thursday morning. The cold front to the system will be pushing eastward across the country throughout the day, with scattered showers and some thunderstorms for the Midwest down to the Gulf. Strong winds around the system may create some damage and coincide with snow across the far north to produce blizzard conditions. The next system is quick on its heels, moving into the Pacific Northwest.
