Get ready for a fantastic opening day at the Minnesota State Fair! With warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine on the way, Thursday’s shaping up to be the perfect day to enjoy all the fun, food and festivities. Here’s what the weather will look like hour by hour.

Hurricane Erin update: Forecast sees huge storm moving closer to U.S.
Forecasts nudge Erin's likely path to the west, increasing the risks at U.S. beaches. Experts say the storm's massive size, rather than its windspeeds, is what makes it a threat.
Surface high pressure brings drier, calmer weather
High pressure is bringing sunshine and dry weather after some early fog. Temperatures will be above normal through Thursday, but much cooler air arrives this weekend. 
Southern Minnesota soaked: 2 months of rain in just days
Southern Minnesota was soaked over the weekend as a series of slowly moving storm systems dumped multiple inches of rain across the region, with some areas receiving the equivalent of two months worth of precipitation in just a few days.
Waseca County surveying flood damage
Waseca County expects to declare a disaster emergency Tuesday morning.
Continued showers keep flood watch active into early Monday
Continued showers will keep a flood watch active into early Monday, but the rain is expected to taper off later in the day. Drier conditions and sunshine are forecast to return by Monday afternoon, bringing some relief after a really soggy stretch.
