Minnesota’s Weather Authority has issued a Forecast First Alert for tonight as strong to severe thunderstorms are anticipated. The storms are expected to form in western Minnesota between 8 PM and 10 PM and continue into the night, potentially impacting those who may be sleeping.
The most significant risks from these storms include powerful winds and hail, particularly in northern and central Minnesota, where many residents might head to their cabins. The overnight timing poses additional risks, making it crucial for people to have reliable methods to receive weather alerts that can awaken them if necessary.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the weather will remain warm and humid, with a chance of lingering storms, although heavy rainfall is not expected. By Sunday, the likelihood of rain decreases, paving the way for a drier and more stable weather pattern as we head into the early part of next week.
It’s essential to stay vigilant throughout the night, especially for those traveling or planning to spend the night outdoors. Keeping connected with Minnesota’s Weather Authority will provide updates and keep you informed on storm developments.
As a reminder, having access to timely weather alerts is crucial for safety, particularly during severe weather events.
