Pleasant Wednesday in Twin Cities ahead of hot start to State Fair
MINNEAPOLIS — The clouds and rain from Tuesday night's disturbance will clear out early Wednesday, bringing back some sunshine and highs in the upper 70s.
It will be quiet overnight as we cool to 60.
The Minnesota State Fair will start dry and comfortable on Thursday, but a storm system will roll into the Twin Cities and linger between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Friday.
Temperatures are perfect to start the fair. They will get a bit toasty for the weekend. ONE MORE DAY. @WCCO #mnwx pic.twitter.com/6eY6pZH9vh
