Good morning, Minneapolis-Saint Paul. I'm Morgan Riley, and this is your local news update.
Word on the streets of Minneapolis-Saint Paul is that severe weather may be ramping up as we enter June, which is traditionally Minnesota's peak month for storms. Weather experts are watching a potentially potent line of storms that could develop in South Dakota and western Minnesota. This comes after what many residents have described as an already active spring weather pattern across the region.
In local news, communities across the Twin Cities continue recovery efforts following yesterday's weather events. According to reports from the evening news on June 2nd, several neighborhoods experienced power outages, with utility crews working overnight to restore service to affected areas. Local officials are reminding residents to report any downed power lines and to exercise caution around storm debris.
The spirit of Minnesota resilience was on full display yesterday as neighbors helped neighbors clean up after the storms. In the Seward neighborhood, community members organized an impromptu volunteer effort to clear fallen branches from senior residents' yards. Local business owner Mia Johnson told reporters, "This is just what we do here—we look out for each other when things get tough."
Looking ahead to your weather, expect partly cloudy skies today with a high near 68 degrees. Conditions should remain relatively stable, though meteorologists advise keeping an eye on developing systems that could bring more unsettled weather by week's end.
For weekend plans, Grand Old Day is returning to St. Paul with an all-local music lineup that celebrates Minnesota talent. The festival will feature food trucks and street performers along Grand Avenue. For outdoor enthusiasts, most parks are now open after drying out from recent rains, with the Mississippi River and Chain of Lakes offering good conditions for paddling—though be mindful of potential debris in the water.
As our community moves forward together, it's worth noting how quickly residents rally to support one another through challenges—whether that's weather-related disruptions or everyday needs. It's this connection that makes the Twin Cities special.
