Weather
A strong system that moved through the Canadian Prairies over the holiday weekend is winding down there on Tuesday, but still producing some rain and breezy winds across the border area. The system's front is stretched out from Nebraska into Minnesota early in the morning, where a band of showers and thunderstorms has formed. This front will be the source of most of the precipitation today across the North-Central U.S. and may include some severe weather around Iowa this afternoon and evening. Additional spotty showers will develop near the Gulf as well.
