Minnesota weather: Pleasant weekend in the Twin Cities, air quality alert in northern MN
The Brief Early morning clouds & fog linger behind last night's storms, but clear to patchy sunshine this afternoon. Smoke from wildfires in Canada is back for Northern Minnesota this weekend & has prompted an Air Quality Alert through Monday morning. Next week gets hot and very steamy with heat index values well into the 90s & several thunderstorm opportunities. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - There will be pleasant summer temperatures for the weekend, with a steamy and stormy heat wave expected next week. Saturday and Saturday outlook Local perspective Early morning clouds and fog linger just a bit behind last night's storms as dew points hang in the upper 60s this Saturday morning. Clouds will gradually break into more of a partly cloudy sky, and dew points will settle into the more manageable mid-60s this afternoon as high temperatures cap out in the upper 70s. Unfortunately, the area of high pressure that is bringing the pleasant weekend is also being accompanied by some wildfire smoke from Canada that will reach the northern parts of the state. Code red to code purple air quality can be expected at times across the northern third of the state from Saturday afternoon through late Sunday night, and there is an air quality alert in effect during that time up north. The sun shines brightly for a lovely Sunday as dew points fall into the comfortable upper 50s. Extended forecast What's next It will quickly turn muggy and unsettled next week. Monday could begin with a few weakening rumbles moving out of the Dakotas as dew points begin to climb. But a legitimate tropical feeling heat wave begins on Tuesday as dew points soar into the 70s with highs in the mid to upper 80s. That leads to heat index values in the 90s for the middle of next week with several opportunities for unsettled storms.

Rain soaks South Florida on Monday, more expected Tuesday
The NEXT Weather team had previously issued Weather Alert Days for both Monday and Tuesday due to the potential for flash flooding, citing a Level 2 out of 4 excessive rainfall risk issued by the Weather Prediction Center (WPC). However, as storms failed to "pin" along the coastline—a meteorological process that can rapidly produce several inches of rain in a short period—the worst-case scenarios did not develop. "Since we didn't get widespread flooding along with a drying trend in the models, an Alert Day may not be necessary tomorrow," the NEXT Weather team said in an update. Forecast totals hold Rainfall amounts largely matched Monday's forecast of 1 to 3 inches across the region, though earlier projections warned of isolated areas potentially receiving up to 7 inches. A flood watch was in effect Monday afternoon and evening, but no major flooding materialized. "The potential of significant flooding was there today but storms did not 'pin' along the coastline, a process that can easily wring out several inches in a short amount of time," the update noted. Currently, there are no active flood alerts in South Florida. System moves west, watching the Gulf As the trough of low pressure that brought Monday's rains moves west across the peninsula and into the Gulf, the risk of flooding in South Florida diminishes. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the system for possible tropical development later this week, though chances remain low. The NEXT Weather team will continue monitoring the system's movement and any possible impacts to the region in the coming days.
