Next Weather: Windy, less humid Wednesday, but more heat to come
MINNEAPOLIS -- Tuesday is no longer a Next Weather Alert day, but it will still be hot and humid out there.
It reached 96 degrees Monday in the Twin Cities, with heat indices in the 100s.
Tuesday's forecasted high is 94 degrees, with heat indices in the upper 90s. The National Weather Service had issued a heat advisory for parts of central, western and southern Minnesota, but canceled it Tuesday morning.
"The heat advisory has been cancelled due to the morning cloud cover and showers, as expected highs and heat index values have dropped several degrees," the NWS said. "It will still be warm and above normal, but not nearly to the extent originally expected."
Showers and thunderstorms are possible mainly up north Tuesday evening. There is a severe thunderstorm watch for several counties up there, with hail and wind the main concerns.
Wednesday will be in the high 80s, with more sunshine and wind, but less humidity. Thursday will be similar, though less windy.
We'll head back to the 90s Friday, with some increased dew points as well.
The next best shot at rain is looking to be Saturday into Sunday.
