It's a swampy morning in the Twin Cities which will soon lead to showers and thunderstorms, some potentially severe.

For those listeners headed to TCF Bank stadium tonight, let's all say a prayer to Queen Bey that the storms clear by the time she is supposed to take the stage. The concert is supposed to go on rain or shine, but not necessarily "lightening or shine".

Let's look at the brighter side of this gloomy forecast and listen to songs for today's 9:30 Coffee Break that have lyrics relating to stormy weather.

Songs played


A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan
Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics
Stormy Weather - Pixies
It never rains in southern California - Albert Hammond
Knock On Wood - Amii Stewart
Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions
