MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A storm system is bringing the threat of torrential rains, large hail and strong winds through Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The National Weather Service says parts of north-central and northeast Minnesota are under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. Saturday. That includes cities like Brainerd, Ely, Duluth and International Falls.
