Severe weather: Strong tornadoes, very large hail possible in southern Minnesota

UPDATE 8 A.M. 

This is the latest severe weather risk from the Storm Prediction Center, which is slightly different from the map shown in the original blog posting. The orange area has the highest chance of seeing nasty storms. A late-September severe weather event is appearing more and more likely Tuesday as a strong cold front is forecast to move through Minnesota. 
"Tornadoes, large hail, and damaging wind are all possible late this afternoon and evening across much of the area," says the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities. "The greatest threat, including for some strong tornadoes, will be from south central and southeast MN into WI. Hail larger than golf balls is also possible."
Minnesotans will experience cool, dry air in the morning but that will quickly change as moisture surges into the area, with dewpoints rising close to 70 by the afternoon. That will set the stage for explosive storm development during the afternoon and evening hours.
