Funnel Clouds Possible this Afternoon

Warmer Weekend, A Few Storms Today

Warming Up Next Week

Brief funnel clouds have been reported earlier today and conditions remain favorable for these funnel clouds through the afternoon along and south of I-90. These funnels rarely pose a threat to life or property. However, if a funnel reaches the surface, it is a tornado and property damage and injury to person could result. Any funnel cloud reports would be greatly appreciated!

High temperatures in the upper 70s to middle 80s will warm slightly into the weekend with highs in the middle 80s to approaching 90 degrees on Sunday. A few storms will be possible east of the Mississippi River this afternoon and evening with mostly sunny conditions expected later into the weekend!

Warmer weather returns for next week across the northern U.S. with the hottest temperatures expected towards the Dakotas. Highs across the local region should top out in the upper 80s to low 90s, with the confidence in the temperature forecast decreasing beyond Tuesday with the increasing risk for showers and storms
