The severe storm may not be over yet. There's another chance for storms today, bringing a slight to slight risk of severe weather on Monday, WCCO meteorologist Katie Steiner said.
The silver lining, Steiner said, is that the National Weather Service has lifted its heat warning for the Twin Cities. High temperatures will still likely be near 90 degrees, but it won't look as hot as expected.
The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities said 90-degree temperatures were recorded at MSP Airport for the first time this year on Sunday. This is the latest time since 1993 that 90 degrees has been reached.
Steiner said there is a chance for storms on Sunday, most likely in the evening into the overnight hours, with the greatest potential for storms in the southern parts of the state.
After midnight, the storm will move from the Dakotas into western Minnesota, WCCO meteorologist Lisa Meadows said. The main problem with this series of storms is the damaging winds. The storm is expected to weaken as it moves into central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro in the early morning hours.

Monday's weather should be similar to Saturday's, although perhaps not as warm. The weather should be warm, with temperatures in the mid-80s.
Next, a period of dry, cool weather is expected to be very comfortable.
