Watching the Love Is Blind reunion, one question kept coming up for us: Is Minneapolis really that small? Seriously, when describing the past year of their lives, a constant thread nearly every ex-couple brought up was that the participants can’t stop running into one other. At one point, it comes out that Madison Errichiello went “out” because she heard Mason Horachek was at the bar; a smoking gun against Devin Buckley during his spat with Virginia Miller comes when Madison and Molly Mullaney reveal something he said to them when he was out one night. So, how small is the Minneapolis bar scene, exactly? “There are four bars,” Monica Danús confirmed during a live discussion of the reunion at SXSW. “In Minneapolis, North Loop is where a lot of people live and a lot of people hang out, so when you go out, you have to mentally prepare yourself: I’m going to run into somebody that I want to see, and I’m going to run into somebody that I don’t want to see.”

It turns out that, in the time between production and the reunion, the cast of Love Is Blind, season eight, saw each other out pretty often. “A lot of us live on the same street,” Danús said. “I run into some people at my favorite coffee shop, so that’s interesting. I mean, we’re cordial, we’re fine, but we definitely see each other even if we don’t necessarily want to.” Sounds like a nightmare to this New Yorker, but we’re happy for those who love the Twin Cities!

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.

Minneapolis ambulance crash 

What we know:

A news release from the Hennepin EMS Public Information Office said the ambulance was responding to a non-urgent call without any lights or sirens and was “following normal traffic patterns.” The ambulance, which was an advanced life support unit, was staffed by two paramedics. 

The ambulance crew then reported at about 4:24 a.m. that they were involved in a crash and requested help while they began to render aid. Officials say police, firefighters and three additional ambulances then responded to the scene. 

A total of five people were then taken to area hospitals for evaluation, including the two paramedics, who have since been released from the hospital, Hennepin EMS officials said. 

The news release states the ambulance was eastbound on Lake Street West in Minneapolis when “a westbound sedan entered the eastbound lanes prior to the crash.”

Minneapolis police say three of the people in the sedan were taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and no arrests were made. 

What we don’t know:

No reason was given for why the westbound sedan entered the eastbound lanes.

Further details on the crash are still being investigated.
