MPR News Update

MPR News Update for May 19

Good morning! Mostly sunny north, mostly cloudy south with showers likely. Highs in the mid-50s to 60s. It's looking like a rainy weekend in the Twin Cities. Good weather to stay inside and hammer out a budget deal, no? Deep differences over taxes and spending and the sheer logistics of passing budget bills are threatening to send the legislative session into overtime. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog

MPR News Update for May 17

Good morning! Cloudy, with showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the mid-50s to 60s north, lower 70s south. We're not exactly ESPN here at MPR but this sports controversy is worth talking about. As NewsCut blogger Bob Collins notes: "It's difficult to imagine a more obvious slight than the one the NCAA tossed on the University of Minnesota women's softball team, which went 16-3 against other teams invited to the NCAA tournament, won 25 in a row, and finished the season 54-3. For all of that, the tournament committee sent the Gophers in unseeded." | Forecast | Updraft weather blog

MPR News Update for May 15

Good morning! Partly sunny with a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon in southern Minnesota. Highs in the mid-60s north, mid-70s south. Now that we're in the season of graduations and college acceptance letters, can you remember what you wrote in your college essay? It probably wasn't as good as what Jonathan Abably of Blaine wrote. His essay on work, money, and class was good enough to get printed in the weekend New York Times. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog
