MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Thursday will stay hot and steamy across Minnesota as isolated thunderstorms remain possible at times throughout the day.
Isolated storm chances Thursday
What to expect:
Thursday will be unsettled at times, though not everyone will see rain. Storms moving across southern Minnesota Thursday morning could lead to redevelopment around the lunch hour. Any storms that develop could produce heavier downpours.
Temperatures will depend somewhat on the rain, though the Twin Cities will likely be hot and steamy this afternoon. Temperatures reach the mid to upper 80s across much of the state, with heat index values in the metro reaching the low 90s.
Patchy sunshine is expected between the clouds and isolated storm chances, along with southwest winds at 5-10 mph.
Another round of scattered thunderstorms is possible late Thursday night into early Friday morning, especially across northern and southern Minnesota. The chance for overnight rain in the Twin Cities remains low.
Overnight lows stay in the 70s in the Twin Cities, while parts of northern Minnesota fall into the 50s.
