Get ready for another summery weekend Minnesota.
It’s hard to believe we’re counting down to the Labor Day weekend already. But there are just three precious summer weekends left after this one before the Labor Day holiday weekend.
This weekend brings a classic mix of summer warmth and humidity. Highs from Friday through Sunday push into the 80s across most of Minnesota. Highs could reach 90 degrees in the southern parts of Minnesota this weekend.
Scattered thunder
The air mass is warm and moist enough to produce a few waves of thunderstorms this weekend.
NOAA’s NAM 3 km resolution model suggests a few spotty thundershowers overnight into Friday morning. This model has also been consistent with developing a wave of storms in west-central Minnesota Friday evening that pushes toward the Twin Cities area around 10 p.m. Friday.
Severe risk
The risk for severe storms Friday favors the Red River Valley and northwest Minnesota. There is a marginal risk across the Twin Cities area Friday.
Stay situationally aware of possible severe weather watches and warnings through the weekend.
