Good Friday afternoon to one and all! It is my true hope that you’re enjoying some time off and getting ready to head into the holiday weekend early!
We woke up to a few showers across parts of Minnesota this morning, but those clouds are now clearing out. The rest of today looks partly cloudy...
Key takeaway The rest of today looks partly cloudy, very warm, and humid, with highs climbing into the low to mid-80s.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
Minneapolis residents planning outdoor activities for the holiday weekend should remain vigilant about the weather forecast . With storm chances predicted for Saturday, parade-goers and those with daytime outdoor plans should check the radar before heading out. While firework shows Saturday evening are currently expected to be unaffected, the unpredictable nature of the forecast means that could change. The warm and humid weather expected to persist into next week will also keep the possibility of storms on the table. For Minneapolis residents, this means being prepared for sudden changes in weather, especially if planning to attend outdoor events in the city's parks or public spaces. As the city celebrates America's 250th, residents will need to balance their holiday plans with the need to stay informed about the latest weather developments.
