One last hot, dry day before a cooler, stormy pattern takes hold
Wednesday will be the last mostly sunny, dry and hot day for a bit. Our chances for rain and thunder increase Wednesday night into Thursday and will be followed by much cooler weather. 
Hopeful signs for much needed Minnesota rainfall over the next 10 days
Our record heat and very dry air masses give way to rainfall chances through the next 10 days. It may not be enough to quench the whole state, but many areas could see at least a couple inches of rain through next week.
Heat, fire danger linger Tuesday; rain, cooler temps on the way
Rinse and repeat. Another hot, breezy day with critical fire conditions, especially in western Minnesota. We are on track for a shift toward cooler weather and needed rain by late week. 
Red flag warning in effect: Hot, dry, and windy conditions
Unseasonably warm temperatures continue to grip the region, with highs soaring into the 80s and 90s—more typical of June than early May. The heat, combined with low humidity and strong southerly winds, has prompted red flag warnings across much of the state.
