Full 7-Day NWS Forecast
NWS-Twin Cities (MPX) Area Forecast Summary

- Dense wildfire smoke is creating hazardous air quality and reduced visibility for much of the coverage area, lasting into Friday morning. - Dangerous heat expected to persist into Friday, despite a small respite for all areas outside of the Twin Cities metro for today. This is a long duration and cumulative threat due to highs in the low-mid 90s and heat indices from the mid 90s to near 100 degrees. - Only main likelihood for rain comes Sunday night into Monday morning, otherwise mainly dry conditions through late next week.
