While a storm or two could flare up in parts of central and northern Minnesota on Thursday, the National Weather Service is closely monitoring what it says could be a "dangerous" Friday night and Saturday in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
"A line of severe storms is expected to move across MN Friday night, with extensive damaging winds possible," says the Twin Cities office of the NWS. That will be followed by a brutally hot Saturday, where excessive heat warnings are possible as the "feels like" temperature outside could exceed 100 degrees in parts of Minnesota.
