MPR News Update for Oct. 7

Good morning! Mostly cloudy and cool with highs in the 40s and 50s today. Frost advisory or central and northern Minnesota tonight. If you're in the mood for some leaf-peeping this weekend, head up north, stat. That's the place to be for fantastic fall foliage. But get up there while you -- the fall colors season is fleeting. Northwestern Minnesota is already past peak. | Forecast

MPR News Update for Oct. 5

Good morning! A bit more rain this morning before turning mostly sunny. Highs range from the 60s to 70s. Bad news for people running the Twin Cities Marathon or 10-mile race this Sunday. The new Vikings stadium -- and its indoor bathrooms -- won't be open to runners before the race, owing to the NFL's security policy. The Vikings will be kicking off a noon game with the Houston Texans just hours after the marathon starts. So the stadium will be closed before the race. | Forecast

MPR News Update, PM Edition for October 3, 2016

Good afternoon! Well, it was a nice try, Saturday Night Live. One could see the return of SNL this weekend as the perfect remedy after our summer of political discontent. The show's cold open was a comedic take on this week's debate, but it became clear, quickly, that any parody could not top the strange of the original act. | Election 2016 | Forecast

MPR News Update, PM Edition for September 29, 2016

Good afternoon! Look in the sky tonight and you might get a show. A geomagnetic storm may deliver a potentially awesome northern lights display the next couple of nights across Minnesota. If you need a definition, the aurora is a "luminous glow of the upper atmosphere caused by energetic particles entering the atmosphere from above," according to the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. You can just call it "ooh" and "ah" tonight and Friday. | Forecast
