Through Wednesday night, the peril for locally violent storms will cover Winnipeg in Manitoba to Fargo in North Dakota, and Huron in South Dakota.

The storm risk will reach parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan during Thursday.
The threat for severe weather will extend to Des Moines, Iowa; Madison, Wisconsin; Omaha, Nebraska; Marquette, Michigan; Milwaukee and Chicago during Thursday afternoon and night.
On Friday, the potential for heavy to locally severe storms will stretch from the eastern Great Lakes to the Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys.
