Hurricane Laura is now forecast to become a monster Category 4 storm and Sven Sundgaard has details on where the strongest winds – gusts up to 175 mph possibly – will be possible on the Gulf Coast. 

For Minnesota, we're still dealing with hazy skies caused by smoke from California wildfires, along with storm chances across central Minnesota later Wednesday and again Thursday night into Friday. 

Some severe storms can't be ruled out Wednesday evening and night.
