Another round of strong storms and heavy rain is moving across the nation's midsection.
The National Weather Service had issued tornado watches Saturday for areas including parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Nebraska. In Minnesota, the weather service says a trained observer reported a brief tornado touchdown just before 4:30 p.m. in Lac qui Parle (lak-kwih-PARL') County, on the South Dakota border. There were no immediate reports of damage.
Jared Guyer of the Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said there was a risk of large hail, strong winds and several tornadoes, adding that "certainly, some of those tornadoes could be strong." The greatest chance of severe weather stretched from southern Nebraska to central and western Kansas and Oklahoma.
Last weekend's weather caused several tornadoes, flooding and at least four deaths.
