Weather and Climate News

Minnesota is gearing up for a band of strong storms that are expected to move across the state throughout Wednesday and overnight. The National Weather Service says parts of the state are seeing flash flooding.
Hot and humid with more storm chances
Tuesday and Wednesday will be hot and humid across southern Minnesota. The steamy air will continue to generate storm chances through Wednesday night. 
Showers and thunderstorms return to forecast; heat builds in Tuesday
Showers and thunderstorms remain possible into early Monday morning and again in the afternoon, but conditions will quickly turn hot and humid as a ridge of heat builds in by Tuesday. A classic midsummer pattern takes hold, with rising dew points and heat indices climbing into the 90s—and possibly reaching the triple digits—through much of the week.
