Air Quality Alert and Increasing Humidity in Minnesota; Storms Expected Tonight
US · Published Jun 8, 2026
• An air quality alert is in effect for sensitive groups across the Twin Cities metro area and much of Minnesota until 11 p.m. on Sunday, June 7,
• The day will begin with clear skies and high pressure, but increasing humidity will push temperatures into the upper 80s°F (31°C). Storm chances are expected to develop in southern Minnesota during the afternoon and move northward later in the evening. Flash flooding is the primary concern with these storms. The weather pattern will remain active into the week, with additional storm chances and fluctuating temperatures.

Why It's Important?

The air quality alert poses risks to sensitive groups, including individuals with respiratory conditions, children, and the elderly. Flash flooding from evening storms could lead to localized water accumulation, particularly in low-lying areas. The combination of high temperatures and humidity may also increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, especially for those spending extended periods outdoors.
