MN weather: More rain with cloudy skies Thursday
It’s another rainy day with overcast skies and cooler temperatures in the 60s. Friday is expected to be brighter and warmer, with highs in the 70s. FOX 9 meteorologist Jared Piepenburg has the full forecast.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Rain showers and cooler temperatures are sticking around Thursday, but a warmer and brighter Friday is ahead.
Rainy and cool Thursday
Severe weather risk:
More rain is in the forecast for Thursday, but it won’t be like Wednesday’s weather for most, where severe storms raced across southern Minnesota and at least 10 tornadoes were reported. The Twin Cities and areas west dealt with flash flooding after heavy rain, with some regions seeing over 4 inches of rain.
However, there is a level 2 risk of severe weather for extreme southeastern Minnesota and a level 1 risk for areas just north on Thursday. The afternoon hours will see a threat of supercells developing in parts of extreme southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, and southwestern Wisconsin. These storms will have a chance to produce a few isolated tornadoes and strong gusty winds.
Thursday’s forecast:
The Twin Cities will see periods of light to moderate showers with rumbles throughout the day. The system will likely bring another half inch of rain for some, with southern regions possibly getting another 1 to 1.5 inches of rain. The system finally moves out by mid-to-late evening, though the clouds will linger overnight.
Temperatures remain cooler with highs in the 60s statewide, accompanied by light northerly winds at 5-15 mph. The Twin Cities metro daytime high is around 67 degrees.
Nice Friday ahead of steamy weekend
What’s next:
We get a break from the rain on Friday with partly sunny skies, light winds and highs in the mid to upper 70s.
This weekend is looking hot and steamy with rising dew points and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. There’s a chance of a stray thunderstorm Saturday, which may linger into Sunday.
The start of the week is bright and comfortable with highs in the low 80s.
Here’s a look at the seven-day forecast:
Minneapolis, MN
New Wolves owners want to leave Target Center. Here’s what’s at stake for downtown Minneapolis.
Other structural challenges hinder revenue and the fan, player and performer experience, too: The building has among the lowest number of premium seats in the league, and the concourses are narrow. Storage space is limited compared to other venues, as is loading space, an important consideration for many concert acts.
“It needs to be a two-block solution to get to the scale of what they’re talking about,” said Don Kohlenberger, who represented the building owner in the 2014 transformation of the former Block E building now known as Mayo Clinic Square.
Kohlenberger said there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work happening to support and verify the viability of efforts to keep the arena downtown.
A key advantage of urban core is the transportation infrastructure to support large venues, said Adam Duininck, president and CEO of the Minneapolis Downtown Council.
Even if the new arena were to be located near the Minneapolis Farmers Market, a rumored site contender, Duininck is hopeful the project could mimic the economic impact that the construction of Target Field had on the North Loop and U.S. Bank had on the east side of downtown.
“It might feel a little more distant,” he said. “But not that long ago, the North Loop didn’t feel like a part of downtown. As downtown grows and evolves, it really does get hopefully woven together in a more cohesive manner.”
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Speeding tickets will be coming from cameras in Minnesota before the summer is over.
Camera tickets coming
Two cities testing:
Minneapolis is on the road to approving a vendor to run the traffic safety camera program, and they won’t be alone.
The city plans to roll out five of them in September and then up to 42 over the course of a four-year pilot program.
But it’ll be Mendota Heights with the first camera in action on Aug. 1.
Minneapolis considering traffic cam locations
Ahead of the implementation of cameras on traffic lights that could catch drivers speeding and running red lights, Minneapolis officials are holding public meetings to inform residents of potential first locations of the pilot program.
Traffic cameras sending speeding tickets may seem like Big Brother to some, but to Mendota Heights police chief Kelly McCarthy, they’re the least intrusive way to make sure streets are safe, and maybe the most effective.
“We can send an officer and then as soon as the officer leaves, behavior goes back to the problematic levels,” Chief McCarthy said.
They’ll be the first city to use cameras to monitor speed under a 2024 law allowing just them and Minneapolis to put the cameras to the test.
Why do it?
Speed kills:
It’s a response to years of rising traffic deaths, most of which involved speeding drivers.
“We hope that we’ll get closer to the best cases we’ve seen in other communities where almost no one is speeding any more and that’s our goal,” said Ethan Fawley, a Minneapolis Public Works employee who heads the traffic safety program Vision Zero.
MnDOT will also run up to four cameras in highway work zones starting as soon as this fall.
But their system is limited to giving out warnings.
Crime and punishment
Limited trouble:
Mendota Heights and Minneapolis will give warnings the first time cameras catch a driver at more than 10 mph above the speed limit.
After that, it’s $40 per ticket and $80 if you’re more than 20 mph too fast, still a lot cheaper than most speeding tickets, and they won’t go on your driving record.
“It’s hard to say it’s a money grab,” said Chief McCarthy. “We’re going to lose money on this. We already have because we’ve been using this for years and just mailing out warnings.”
Lots of tickets?
Maybe, maybe not:
The chief predicts they won’t give out more than 10 tickets a year because drivers will get notified of a camera’s location online and on street signage. But she hopes the program succeeds at reducing speeding, especially since the law also only allows cameras within 2000 feet of schools.
Minneapolis may have different expectations about the number of tickets and the revenue they bring, compared to the vendor’s $12 million dollar contract.
“We do anticipate starting in 2026 that will start to cover the contract and other operational costs,” said Fawley.
The contract averages $3 million a year and at $40 a ticket, the city would have to give out 75,000 tickets every year to break even.
