Weather
A front continues to sag south through the southern end of the Corn Belt Thursday morning. That is producing some clusters of showers and thunderstorms, including some heavy rain that should extend southward throughout the day. Another system is moving into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest with a cluster of thunderstorms over Minnesota. This system's front could produce some severe weather from Nebraska to Minnesota later Thursday.
