Podcast Summary
Severe weather in Minnesota: Another round of severe weather is expected tomorrow in southern Minnesota, and utility crews are still working to restore power to over 25,000 homes and businesses affected by the storms earlier in the week.
Minnesotans can expect a brief reprieve from storms today, but another round of severe weather is expected tomorrow, particularly in the southern part of the state. The risk of severe storms is not as great as it was on Monday, but utility crews are still working to restore power to over 25,000 homes and businesses affected by the storms earlier in the week. Two teenage boys are facing felony charges in connection with the shooting death of their cousin over the weekend in North Minneapolis. The severe weather late Monday and early Tuesday knocked out power to over 150,000 homes and businesses. The best chance for severe storms tomorrow is along I-90 in the southern part of the state, but northwestern Minnesota is also expected to see morning thunderstorms. Temperatures could reach into the 80s tomorrow if central southern Minnesota can heat up, potentially making the storms more widespread.
Legal cases in Minnesota: Two separate legal cases are ongoing in Minnesota: one involving teen boys and a shooting, and another DFL State Senator facing a felony burglary charge. Meanwhile, Minnesotans are competing in the Paralympic Games and the weather is predicted to be stormy.
There have been developments in two separate legal cases involving Minnesotans. In the first case, a witness reported hearing a teen's cry of "it was an accident" after a shooting, with a nine-millimeter extended magazine found near the victim and a pistol and gun parts discovered in the home. The Hennepin County Attorney's Office is seeking to prosecute the boys as adults. In the second case, DFL State Senator Nicole Mitchell is pleading not guilty to a felony burglary charge, with her attorneys attempting to get the charge dismissed due to a laptop taken into evidence being inadmissible. Meanwhile, several Minnesotans are competing in the Paralympic Games in Paris, including three-time Paralympic swimmer Mallory Wegeman and six-time Paralympian Aaron Pike in track and field. The games started today and will run until September 8th. The weather in Minnesota is expected to be cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms, with low temperatures in the mid to upper 60s and some severe storms predicted for Thursday.
