MN weather: Record warmth possible on Monday
It’s a warm start to the week, with possible record warmth in the Twin Cities metro on Monday. However, a cold front moving in overnight will drop temperatures back into the 40s on Tuesday before warming back into the 60s and 70s for the end of the week. FOX 9 meteorologist Cody Matz has your forecast.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Monday will come with very warm temperatures, a bit of a breeze and a fire danger for parts of the state.
Monday’s forecast in Minnesota
What to expect:
Temperatures will climb into the 60s and 70s across much of Minnesota on Monday, though areas along the Canadian border will see cooler highs in the 40s and 50s.
The Twin Cities metro daytime high is 68 degrees, breaking the previous record of 66 degrees set in 2015 and 2012.
Expect a bright day with sunshine filtering through high thin clouds. The afternoon will be a bit breezy with southwest winds at 10-20+ mph. A red flag warning is in effect for parts of western Minnesota from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. due to gusty winds and low humidity. Any fires that develop could spread rapidly.
A cold front will bring gusty winds of 30-35+ overnight, and cause temperatures to fall into the 20s for a chilly start on Tuesday.
The week ahead
What’s next:
After a colder start on Tuesday, the afternoon will be calmer and slightly cooler, with highs in the 40s. However, it’s still slightly above the average high of 39 degrees.
A warming trend will kick in midweek, causing temperatures to climb into the 50s on Wednesday, the 60s on Thursday and potentially 70 degrees on Friday.
There’s a chance for thunderstorms on Friday night, followed by a rainy mix on Saturday and falling temperatures. Sunday will be the coldest day of the week, with a high of just 33 degrees.

The scene of the crash at 26th Avenue North and Emerson Avenue North in Minneapolis. (FOX 9)

Woman sentenced in fatal Minneapolis crash
Big picture view:
Prosecutors say Teniki Steward drove a Buick Enclave into a bus shelter and a Ford Explorer after speeding through a red light.
Both of the women in the Ford Explorer died in the crash. They were identified as 53-year-old Ester Jean Fulks and 57-year-old Rose Elaine Reece.
During the crash, the Ford Explorer went off the road, injuring a 17-year-old boy who was waiting for a school bus.
The passenger in Steward’s vehicle also suffered injuries.
Minneapolis police said that Steward was also injured in the crash.
Steward pleaded guilty to multiple murder charges.
What they’re saying:
During the sentencing, the daughter of one of the victims had a statement read on her behalf:
“There’s nothing that can truly prepare you for the moment your entire world is taken from you. Losing my mom has left a pain in my heart that words will never be able to explain.”
What’s next:
Minnesota law requires that Steward serves at least two-thirds of her sentence, a bit under eight-and-a-half years, in prison.
Fatal Emerson and 26th crash
The backstory:
According to the criminal complaint, through surveillance videos from the scene of the crash and witnesses, investigators learned that Steward, driving the Buick Enclave, had been driving at a high rate of speed northbound on Emerson Avenue North.
Before the fatal crash, Steward sped through the intersection of Emerson Avenue North and Broadway Avenue North, running a red light and nearly causing a crash, the charges said.
Steward then continued to speed northbound down Emerson Avenue North, and ran another red light at 26th Avenue North, hitting the Ford Explorer, which was traveling eastbound, according to the complaint.
The Ford Explorer had been at the intersection of Emerson and 26th on a green light.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty shared the following statement:
“This was an egregious act that took Rose and Esther’s lives and injured a child waiting to go to school at a bus stop. Ms. Steward was driving at extremely dangerous speeds on city streets and narrowly avoided multiple collisions before the incident occurred. Third-degree murder charges are appropriate to hold her accountable and protect our community.”
