Tornado watch in all of central and eastern Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A tornado watch is in effect for all of central and eastern Minnesota - from as far north as International Falls and Bemidji to as far south as Albert Lea and Winona.
The National Weather Service says the watch will be in effect until 9 p.m.
A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms passed through the southwestern part of the state earlier this morning. Western Minnesota isn’t under the watch.

Namely, Northwestern. Home again early, with no place to go.
In case you weren’t riveted on the game, the Wildcats lost to Minnesota in the first round of the Big Ten tournament 55-52. They left with their futility intact.
The NCAA tournament is 70 years old this March. Northwestern has never appeared in it.
You can look it up. Northwestern hosted the first national championship game in 1939. The Wildcats helped start the big dance.
But they have never been invited. Not once.
All 10 other teams in the Big Ten have played in the NCAA tournament. All 12 in the ACC and SEC, all 16 in the Big East, all 14 in the Atlantic 10, everyone in the Pac-10 and Big 12, all eight in the Ivy League.
Eight different schools from the state of Illinois have made at least one trip. A total of 296 teams nationwide had done it, through 2007.
But never Northwestern. It is probably fitting, they’re just up the lakeshore from the Cubs.
The closest the Wildcats can get to a Final Four? Well, point guard Craig Moore was a high school teammate of former Florida star Joakim Noah.
And no breakthrough seems imminent. Thursday’s loss to the Gophers ended the season at 8-22, and 1-18 against Big Ten opponents. (In the interest of gender equity, it should be noted the Wildcat women went 5-26 and 1-18. So when it comes to adversity, Northwestern is in full compliance with Title IX).
