Sunshine, summer heat on Wednesday in Twin Cities; chance for storms later on
Wednesday will bring sunshine and summer heat to the Twin Cities, though thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon.
Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s across the state, with increased humidity. Storms are mainly a concern south of the cities and in southwestern Minnesota, though the metro may see some, too. There is a marginal risk for severe weather, with heavy rain, hail and wind gusts 50 to 60 mph being the main threats.
Thursday will be dry and warmer, with highs hitting 90.
Feels-like temperatures will climb to the mid-90s on Friday. Scattered storms will hold north and west of the Twin Cities through fireworks time. If we see rain, it will mark four straight years of a wet Fourth of July.
Saturday will feature off-and-on thunderstorms all day and into the evening. Sunday will be mostly sunny, breezy and cooler.
Next week, humidity and storm chances return.
