Minnesota weather: 80s hold through Monday
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The forecast shows temperatures will warm up nicely again on Sunday.
Highs peak in the lower 80s this afternoon for the southern part of the state with 70s up north.
Monday is expected to be a transition day with a warm and gusty day expected.
Winds will start out of the south and then switch to the northwest later in the day as a cold front passes by.
This front will usher in cooler air for Tuesday. We start off October on a seasonable note, but it will feel much colder as it will be nearly 20 degrees chillier than Monday.
Here’s a look at today’s highs and the seven-day forecast:

8 displaced following north Minneapolis house fire
MINNEAPOLIS — Eight people are without a home after a fire tore through a residential building in north Minneapolis early Sunday morning.
The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews responded to reports of a fire in a bedroom of a two-story home on the 3400 block of Fremont Avenue North shortly after 2 a.m.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a large amount of fire venting from the second-floor windows and laid lines before conducting searches of all floors.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire after extensive overhaul, according to the fire department.
All residents made it out of the home safely and without injuries.
The fire department deemed the home uninhabitable.
The Red Cross will be assisting four adults, four children and a dog who were displaced by the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Minnesotans dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene
(FOX 9) – Hurricane Helene’s destructive path claimed at least 51 lives across five states, and hundreds were rescued from flooding and damage. The aftermath left neighborhoods underwater and millions without power.
MacKenzie Stein from Minnesota is without power at least until Monday. She moved to St. Petersburg, Florida recently, and evacuated from her home before the Category 4 storm hit. Now, she’s left again waiting for her power to come back on in her apartment.

“Not even a month ago I moved there, and I got hit with a Category 4 hurricane,” said Stein.
Stein moved to Florida last November from Minnesota.
“When I went to go drive onto my road, my road was actually flooded. Right outside I could see when I pulled up there was about five or six cars stuck out there in the road,” said Stein.
Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend Region with 140 miles per hour winds, with lots of damage on the Barrier Islands.
“Terrible. I’ve lived here since 1983. We’ve been here when other hurricanes come through. I’m actually from Minnesota, but we get down here every couple of months, and yeah, this is probably one of the worst ones,” said Paul Chadbourn from Minnesota.
Stein was relieved there wasn’t any flooding in her apartment. But now she’s without power and air conditioning, leaving her worried about her cats.
“I gave it a few hours, and then I got the notice that they weren’t going to be putting the power back up until Monday,” said Stein.
Mackenzie is hoping her power comes back on Monday. She also mentioned some of her neighbors stayed through the hurricane at her apartment complex.
Now without any air conditioning, they’re forced to find hotels after the storm passed through.
Helene weakened to a tropical depression Friday afternoon.
