A summery first day of May
Today is the first day of May, but it’ll feel like July. We have your Saturday forecast details.
An 'extremely' average April?
A quick look at the weather books this April shows temperatures and precipitation finished about as close to average as you can get.
Mostly sunny skies and seasonably mild temperatures prevail across Minnesota Friday, although northern Minnesota could see light rain in the evening.
This Saturday marks the beginning of May, but it’ll feel like late June. We have details on that, plus a look at our Sunday shower chances.
Following a couple morning sprinkles Thursday, dry skies prevail through Saturday. That lack of significant rain is making it very obvious that some of our recent radar activity is due to active bird migration.
