Current conditions in St. Paul as of 11:00 AM MDT Monday show a temperature of 16 degrees C, with humidity at 79 percent and light winds from the south-southwest at 6 km/h.
Stormy weather in the region is often triggered by cold fronts passing through, which can create conditions favourable for thunderstorm development in the afternoon and evening hours.
