Paul Huttner with weather details for July 13, 2022
It’s been a hot and steamy week with some surprising pop-up storms. Let’s get the details and the forecast with MPR’s chief meteorologist Paul Huttner.
Sunny, comfy Wednesday; Friday thunderstorm chances, weekend heat
A nice Wednesday with sunshine and more stable conditions. Thursday will also bring sun but it will become a bit warmer with muggy air returning late in the day. We’ll have the chance of thunderstorms Thursday night into Friday. Heat builds in over the weekend.
A blustery cold front pushed a remarkable cloud formation across the Twin Cities on Tuesday night, prompting a flurry of social media postings and appreciation for the spectacle. MPR News meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says the cloud wasn’t threatening, even if it looked that way.
Sunshine Wednesday; rain early Friday?
Wednesday will be more settled with abundant sunshine and comfortable dew points. Northeast Minnesota could see one or two stray showers. Thunderstorms are possible early Friday before things heat up this weekend.
Few storms Tuesday; heat late week
A few showers and thunderstorms are possible late Tuesday afternoon and evening. Wednesday will be sunnier but it becomes hot by the end of the week and weekend.
Pop-up storms possible Tuesday; heat wave ahead
Sunshine will give way to afternoon pop-up showers and thunderstorms for some Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday will be calmer and brighter. The humid air returns late in the week ahead of a heat wave.
