Updraft

The last few weekends of a fleeting Minnesota summer are here. This one looks pretty good overall. 

We should see more dry hours than wet hours this weekend. In many areas, the best rain chances will be Saturday evening and overnight Saturday night.

Latest numbers from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show hottest month on record — 415th consecutive warmer-than-average month globally.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will build eastward across northern Minnesota on Thursday. Other storms will grow into western Minnesota during the afternoon and track toward the Twin Cities by evening. Hotter, much muggier weather will arrive by Monday.

Weather records show interesting trends this summer.

Cooler north breezes blow Wednesday.

Strong storms hit parts of Minnesota Tuesday afternoon. Quieter weather pattern ahead Wednesday and Thursday. 

Low severe weather risk Tuesday.

Warm, dry bias for Minnesota State Fair run? Forecast models suggest near 90 degrees during the State Fair. 

Late August and September can bring great weather.
