Minneapolis farmers market remains festive despite Fourth of July heat
The extreme heat is not putting a damper on how people celebrate the Fourth of July outdoors. Faithful farmers market goers in Minneapolis did not let the heat keep them away. "We're up early get it out the way," said Jasmine. Jasmine and her son Samir stayed underneath the canopy while they shopped, anything to stay cool. "We're walking around at the farmers market, shopping around. We are going to get an iced coffee, hanging out, getting fruits and veggies," said Jasmine. Armed with hats and sunglasses, many followed suit, braving the heat to get those precious local farm-grown foods. "I live with it because it's better than being freezing cold. And summer brings the farmers market and fresh produce, and that means heat. We'll deal with it," said Trudy. For people visiting Minnesota, this heat is something they are not used to. "The humidity here is a little much, you know. You don't get the same evaporative cooling you get with drier heat. It's normally just the corn sweating like this in Nebraska," said Michael. Standing next to a hot grill is not ideal in this weather, but for some, it's how they make a living. "It's never too hot to barbecue. I love the heat," said Chef Anthony Simmons. Anthony and Zach of Just Paula's know people want their barbecue no matter how hot it is. The duo says they're prepared. "Stay in the shade like we are right now," said Simmons. "It's a nice breeze out today. Enjoy some of this barbecue we got cooked for you, so you don't have to worry about the heat." "I just stay hydrated," said Ulyses Zachary. "There is nothing wrong with the heat. It's a good weight loss program. You stand next to the grill and it's like having your own personal sauna." Hydrating and sunscreen are key when hanging out outdoors. Some say it's just for a little while, then they'll retreat inside to beat the heat. "Stay indoors, maybe go to the new Jurassic World movie, something like that," said Trudy. Cooling centers are open across the metro for anyone needing to escape the extreme heat.

Tornado watch as severe storms target parts of Ontario, Manitoba
4:18 p.m. CDT - A tornado watch remains in effect across portions of northern Ontario as a line of severe thunderstorms moves through the region. A tornado watch means that conditions are favourable for the development of tornadoes. Pay close attention to the latest alerts in case the tornado watch is upgraded to a tornado warning in your area. Have a plan in place to seek safe shelter in case severe weather threatens your home, your office, or while you're driving. CURRENT TORNADO WATCHES (Ontario): Sioux Narrows - Nestor Falls - Morson Dryden - Ignace Fort Frances - Rainy Lake Atikokan - Upsala - Quetico The original article with the full forecast for northwest Ontario continues below. It's been a busy week for storms on the Prairies, and now all the ingredients are lining up for an active day of severe weather across much of northwestern Ontario on Friday. Severe thunderstorms are likely across Fort Frances, Atikokan, and Dryden as a favourable environment spreads over the region to end the week. One or two tornadoes are possible. Stay aware of rapidly changing conditions in your area on Friday. Keep a close eye on the radar as you go about your day. Pay attention to watches and warnings issued for your community. Have a plan in place in case a tornado warning is issued for your location, whether you're at home or on the road. STAY SAFE: We'll start the day Friday with some rain with embedded rumbles of thunder through the early morning hours on Friday. Heading into the day, forecasters expect high instability to build across northwestern Ontario and set the stage for robust thunderstorm development through the afternoon hours. A cold front moving in from the west will serve as the spark that sets off thunderstorms by the late afternoon and into the early evening. Friday's severe thunderstorms will pose a risk for one or two tornadoes, as well as large hail up to 3-4 cm in diameter, damaging wind gusts of 90-110 km/h and localized flooding. Severe thunderstorms are expected to bubble up first near Dryden, Ignace, and Fort Frances. These initial storms will pose a risk for tornadoes, especially close to the international border. Fort Frances can expect to see that heavy rain as early as 2 PM CT, with a large buildup north of the town as thunderstorms start to set in. While in the late afternoon, you will be able to see the storms spread across to Ignace, putting a couple more areas under that heavy rain brought in by the thunderstorms. As the evening wears on, these individual thunderstorms will likely merge into clusters, at which point the threat will transition to damaging wind gusts with the potential for embedded rotation and large hail. Make sure you stay aware of severe weather alerts in your area. To turn on severe weather alert notifications for your area, open The Weather Network App and go to settings, and then notifications. Have a sheltering plan in place for tornado warnings whether you're at home, at work, or on the road. The goal of tornado safety is to put as many walls and barriers as possible between you and flying debris. Click here to view the video
