Summer heat and sudden storms hit Minnesota

Minnesota is in for a typical summer day with high heat and possible late-day storms. Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s across the state by afternoon. The Twin Cities metro might see clouds linger until lunchtime, but sunshine should return later. Early morning storms in southern Minnesota will fade as the day progresses. Winds stay light from the southwest at 5 to 10 mph. By late afternoon and evening, scattered thunderstorms could pop up, especially in central and southern areas. These storms bring risks like strong winds over 60 mph, small hail, and brief heavy rain.As night falls, storms should weaken, but a few might stick around. Overnight lows will stay comfortable in the 60s with muggy conditions. The next day, Wednesday, looks just as hot with highs again in the upper 80s. Most areas stay dry, though a random storm could appear in the afternoon. Thursday brings a slight change—humidity drops a bit, and temperatures dip into the low to mid-80s. The rest of the week keeps the summer vibe going with consistent 80s and lots of sun. Residents should expect a mix of heat and occasional storms, typical for this time of year.
