Dangerous heat and humidity continue, cold front moves in overnight
Expect more uncomfortable heat and humidity to continue on Sunday, with highs back in the mid-90s and heat index values reaching up to 110 degrees. It'll be breezy too, with gusts up to 35 mph.
Because of the dangerous heat, there is a NEXT Weather Alert in place until 9 p.m. People are encouraged to limit time in direct sunlight and drink plenty of water.
Some isolated strong storms are possible across northwestern Minnesota in the afternoon through midnight. Tornadoes and damaging hail are the main threats with the first storms. Straight-line winds will be a concern for the second round. Those storms should miss the Twin Cities metro.
A tornado watch is in effect for the following counties until 10 p.m.: Becker, Beltrami, Cass, Clay, Clearwater, Grant, Hubbard, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Otter Tail, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, Roseau, Wadena and Wilkin.
A cold front will drop through Sunday night, bringing a few spotty showers and storms to the metro into Monday morning. Some storms could be strong to severe, with a slight risk for wind and hail, especially for western Minnesota.
That boundary brings in more comfortable weather with lower humidity and cooler temps. Highs will be in the lower 80s on Monday and the 70s for the rest of the week.
The front will lift back north late Tuesday, bringing more rounds of showers and storms Tuesday night through Thursday.
Southern Minnesota looks to pick up the most rain with 2 to 4 inches possible before we dry up Friday.
Another system could bring back spotty storms for Pride weekend, but details are hazy this far out.
