Minnesota Weather: Friday Could Be First 90-Degree Day In 257 Days

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The forecast today: hot!

WCCO director of meteorology Mike Augustyniak says that Friday could be the first day the Twin Cities have seen 90-plus degrees in more than 250 days. The last one was back on September 15, 2018.

This follows a May that often featured below-average temperatures and more wet days than not. Today may not be an exception when it comes to the latter point.

"Be on the lookout for isolated storms anytime after 4 p.m.," Augustyniak said, mainly focused on the middle swath of the state stretching down from Alexandria and Hinckley down to Mankato and Rochester.
