We will see off-and-on showers and storms throughout the evening.
These rain chances will continue each day this weekend, but the big story will be the heat.
It's not too bad today. However, Saturday, Sunday, and the first half of next week will be in the upper 80s.

Severe weather likely on Sunday, one or two tornadoes possible
Severe thunderstorms are likely across portions of southern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario again on Sunday as an active pattern remains in place to close out the weekend. Several rounds of thunderstorms are possible—one in the morning, followed by another in the mid-afternoon to early evening hours. One or two tornadoes are possible. Keep an eye on the radar and stay aware of watches and warnings in your area. Know where to go and what to do if a tornado warning is issued for your location. READ NOW: Severe weather likely on Sunday Sunday will kick off with an early-morning mesoscale convective system (MCS) expected to develop stateside. This organized line of thunderstorms will push into northwestern Ontario and head toward the Thunder Bay area. Expect this first round of storms between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. local time. DON'T MISS: A second line of severe thunderstorms will develop and approach the area during the afternoon hours. Large hail, gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and one or two tornadoes are possible in these storms. The environment is favourable for rotating thunderstorms near the international border, including Fort Frances and Atikokan. STAY SAFE: There remains some uncertainty in the timing and coverage of the lines of storms in northwestern Ontario, as they depend on the timing of the cold front's arrival and the atmosphere's ability to destabilize itself amid the wildfire smoke over the region. Folks across southern Manitoba, including Winnipeg, could see severe thunderstorms fire up beginning Sunday afternoon as a low-pressure system moves into the region. The main hazard from this cluster of storms will be large hail and heavy rainfall. Stay with The Weather Network for all the latest on this evolving severe weather threat.

Extreme heat, severe storm potential prompt NEXT Weather Alert for Minnesota
Sunday is a NEXT Weather Alert day for two reasons: extreme heat and the potential for severe weather. An extreme heat warning is in effect for much of southern and central Minnesota and parts of western Wisconsin from noon until 9 p.m. Feels-like temperatures are expected to be around 100 to 105 degrees. A heat advisory is in effect elsewhere, also from noon to 9 p.m. Sunday. If you have to be outside on Sunday, take lots of breaks inside or in the shade. Regardless of your outside exposure, drink more water than you usually do. Most of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, has a slight risk (2 out of 5) for severe weather in the evening to overnight hours on Sunday. The biggest threat is large hail. Tornadoes cannot be ruled out as a possibility. The heat will continue into Monday with highs in the 90s, but the humidity won't be as bad. Monday night into Tuesday morning, the Twin Cities metro could see more than 2 inches of rain. Parts of eastern, southeastern and central Minnesota could see as much as 3 to 4 inches of rain. Things calm down on Tuesday, as the rest of the week looks seasonal with highs around 80.
