Good FRIDAY—NINTH Day of the Fair–morning! *MINNESOTA’S WEATHER AUTHORITY HAS ISSUED AN ALERT FOR TODAY—DUE TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY* *HEAT ADVISORY UNTIL 6PM ACROSS METRO COUNTIES ONLY* Later today, the sun will be strong, and the humidity will be high with rising air temperatures into the 90’s. The heat index across the metro will jump into the middle and possibly upper 90s. Patchy morning fog will be around for the first few hours of the day today. We will see the fog go away later this morning.

Good Wednesday—Seventh Day of the Fair–morning! After a leftover shower early this morning, skies will clear and sunshine will be back for most of the day today. Warmer and even more humid weather returns on Thursday. Late Thursday and/or Thursday evening there is the potential for a few thunderstorms, a few severe storms will be possible. Skies clear overnight Thursday into Friday and then it really gets a tropical feel out there as dew points rise into the middle 70s.

Good Tuesday—Sixth Day of the Fair–morning! Mostly sunny skies return this morning, along with lower humidity. Clouds will move into the area this afternoon and it will be hot. Afternoon temperatures today will quickly rise to 80-degrees by noon, and then well into the 80’s today. A few showers and possible thunderstorms will be possible late tonight. The best chance for showers will be from the Twin Cities and south. There is even a severe storm threat across the I-90 corridor.
