According to AccuWeather, the Minnesota area is under severe thunderstorm watch from 9:39 p.m. local time until 10:30 p.m. So if this is accurate, the earliest the game could resume is somewhere between 10:30 and 11 p.m. on Monday night. It could obviously be later if lightning is still in the area of Target Field.
