Get out your sun glasses and maybe even shed your winter coat — we are in for possibly record-breaking heat statewide, and it’s the warmest Jan. 31 in the Twin Cities for at least the last 150 years.

Plus, we learn about the effects of the warm winter on the upcoming Birkebeiner ski races and maple syrup production here in Minnesota.

The State of Minnesota is about to roll out a new housing justice plan, with a first-of-its-kind approach. We get the details on Minnesota’s goals to slow the rate of homelessness.

Plus, we have some local music for you. Musician Laamar joins us to talk about his latest tunes.
