NEXT Weather: 8 a.m. forecast from May 10, 2025
Mother's Day weekend will remain quiet with ample sunshine and temperatures running well above average.
Saturday afternoon will be the "cooler" of the days with afternoon temperatures reaching the upper 70s, possible near 80 in some parts of the state.
Once winds turn more southerly and pick up in speed on Sunday, temperatures begin to bake with record-challenging highs near 90 degrees.
This would be our first time in the 90s this year, a little ahead of the average. Typically, Minnesota doesn't hit 90 degrees until late May.
Wind gusts could reach 35 miles per hour in spots, making for an elevated brush fire threat.
Highs will stay close to 90 early next week along with the wind and low humidity, meaning wildfire threats will persist.
Temperatures will come down a little bit late next week, with Thursday looking like the best window for some much-needed showers and storms.

"Feel-good" weather set to return to Pittsburgh area Tuesday
Storm crews will be out Tuesday morning surveying what could be the area's 11th tornado of the year so far in Clarion Township. Daily average High: 78 | Low: 58 Sunrise: 5:50 a.m. Sunset: 8:51 p.m. Any Alert Days Ahead: None for now. There will be storm chances in place for the weekend. The worst damage being reported in Clarion County is an aluminum shed that was reportedly flipped and is sitting on its roof. Route 22 was briefly blocked by debris. Pictures of the broken shed were shared on Facebook. Several trees were also reported downed by debris. Photo Credit: Brett Whitling, Clarion County Department of Public Works Brett Whitling from the Clarion County Department of Public Works caught the aftermath of the storm that toppled a tree onto a garage in Clarion Township. The homeowner also took a picture of what appears to be a wall cloud just before the trees were snapped. We won't deal with anything like that on Tuesday, with calmer and more comfortable weather moving into our area. Highs will hit the mid-70s with very low humidity levels. KDKA-TV Weather Center It will be a little breezy, with winds coming in from the west this afternoon at around 10-15 mph. Skies would normally be sunny after 8 a.m., but a plume of Canadian smoke will also be moving through, so skies will be hazy at best and overcast at worst. Air quality is not expected to be significantly impacted, as the plume is expected to remain mostly above ground level. Wednesday and Thursday will be just as comfortable, with our next rain chance coming on Friday afternoon. The U.S. Open third and final rounds may be impacted by rain, though, with scattered rain around both Saturday and Sunday.

L.A. is rolling out 3,000 bus shelters to help protect riders from extreme heat
Temperatures in Los Angeles continue to rise—the number of annual extreme heat days has tripled over the past century, and average summer temperatures have increased more than one degree Fahrenheit in the past 20 years. To provide some relief from the sun, StreetsLA is deploying 3,000 bus shelters across some of the highest-ridership areas in L.A. Some of the city's most vulnerable communities live in these neighborhoods and yet green space with natural shade is scarce. Since the shelters started being rolled out, an average of 63,800 riders are seeing the benefits every weekday. 'It became a very human-centric effort of understanding who the transit riders are and understanding their needs,' says Carlos Madrid III, senior associate principal at SOM LA studio, the architecture firm that designed the project. Inspired by California modernism architecture, the shelters are simple and functional, with clean lines and a clear indoor-outdoor connection. The final deadline for Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech Awards is Friday, June 20, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

House lawmakers revive bipartisan forecasting bill
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced legislation Friday to help the National Weather Service make critical upgrades to its forecasting and storm prediction capabilities. The 'Weather Act Reauthorization bill,' H.R. 3816, would 'fund ongoing critical research programs while also establishing new programs to advance forecasting, expand commercial data partnerships, strengthen emergency preparedness, and advance tools for farmers, ranchers and resource managers,' according to a release from sponsor Rep. Frank Lucas. The Oklahoma Republican used to chair the Science, Space and Technology Committee. The panel's current ranking member, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), is the bill's main co-sponsor. Advertisement The legislation would fund the modernization of weather research programs, including for tornado warning and hurricane forecasting technologies. And it would increase NOAA's access to forecasting data by expanding its authority to contract with the private sector.
