The first severe thunderstorm warning of the day in Minnesota has been issued, with the NWS Sioux Falls saying the warning is in effect in Beaver Creek in southwestern Minnesota, where 2-inch size hail is possible. It has now expanded to three Minnesota counties.

Monday's severe weather moving through Minnesota created dangerous conditions. According to the National Weather Service, a tornado was observed near Fairmont, Minnesota on Monday afternoon. The federal agency says it also received "multiple tornado reports" near Winnebago in Faribault County.

Tornado warnings have now been issued for parts of Minnesota as multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms are expected across the central U.S. on Monday, some capable of producing damaging winds, large hail and strong tornadoes,
