National Weather Service

We might still be in the last week of summer (even though it's mid-September already) but the National Weather Service just released their updated long-range winter outlook for Minnesota.

The National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory and Excessive Heat Warning.

Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats.

Much of southeast Minnesota is under a severe thunderstorm watch until 7 p.m. Saturday.

The city's official high temp was 96 degrees - at the airport.

Our current late spring heatwave here in Minnesota didn't escape the attention of the National Weather Service office out in Las Vegas.

High temps Monday and Tuesday are expected to be in the 90s.

Houston County apparently sustained the most damage.

The threat will continue into Wednesday evening.

The most devasting was an EF-2.
