Updraft

Dry Canadian high pressure will continue to bring us lovely July weather into midweek. Periods of thunderstorms will break out from Thursday into Friday with warmer, moister conditions.

A few dry, beautiful July days are coming our way through at least Wednesday. Then look for chances of thunderstorms toward the end of the week.

The thunderstorms along with the sultry heat and humidity are all gone this Sunday morning. We can enjoy several lovely summer days until late in the week.

After a wild weather ride in southern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, we can all settle in and enjoy our Sunday.

Two waves of thunderstorms moved through much of southern Minnesota, the metro area and western Wisconsin Saturday morning, causing several areas of storm damage.

Periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected this Saturday across much of southern and central Minnesota and western Wisconsin.  Some areas will see heavy rain. Some strong thunderstorms and a few severe thunderstorms will be possible. 

Periods of showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast this Saturday. A severe thunderstorm watch continues until 11 a.m. in southwestern Minn.

Hail and wind damage just misses the Twin Cities. Heat index values reach 117 in Lakeville, Minn.

A tornado watch continues until 10 p.m. for the Twin Cities metro area and portions of central and northern Minnesota and northwestern and west-central Wisconsin. Our excessive heat warning also continues until 10 p.m.

Parts of Minnesota could see damaging winds, hail and even tornadoes. Meanwhile, an excessive heat warning continues until 10 p.m. across central and southern Minnesota. The good news is relief is on the way.
