Back to school perfection, severe risk Wednesday

Does it get any better than this?

There's nothing quite like that first day of school for parents. Anticipation, anxiety, parental pride and hope for a bright future.

It seems like just yesterday we stood at the bus stop sending our now college student son Luke off to kindergarten. And yes, I jumped in the car and followed the bus all the way to school that day.

Whatever memories and emotions this day brings you as a parent I am happy to report near perfect weather.

As the potent warm front pushes north tomorrow, scattered storms will fire along and north of the front. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center has placed central Minnesota under a slight risk for severe storms with damaging winds and hail.
