More storms for parts of Minnesota Friday, then extreme heat arrives
Parts of Minnesota may be dealing with lingering storms on Friday morning, with more to follow come nightfall. Then, the heat takes over the weekend.
A few of the early Friday storms south of the Twin Cities could be strong, with hail and gusty winds. Once those clear out, we'll have sun breaks and a high around 87.
Storms are forecasted to be north of Alexandria around 9 or 10 p.m., and roll through northern parts of the state overnight.
A tornado watch has been issued for parts of northwestern Minnesota until 3 a.m. Saturday.
Heat indices will climb over 100 this weekend, with much of the state set to be under an extreme heat warning or heat advisory.
The next chance for storms is Sunday night, with a severe threat in the Twin Cities and areas to the north and west.
The pattern stays active into next week, with more storm chances and heavy rain possible. Temperatures look to cool quickly during the week.
