Scattered T-storms this evening into early Friday; a summery holiday weekend

Scattered T-storms this evening into early Friday; a summery holiday weekend

We had wintry weather in April, so summery weather in May seems almost logical. The temperature hit 92 degrees at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this Thursday afternoon, our warmest temp in the Twin Cities since September 24. And it was steam heat, with dew point temps in the 60s. Very warm temps are on tap for…
