Get the latest on Minnesota’s weather for August 9, 2025! After a hot and stormy end to the week, the Twin Cities and beyond are seeing a shift to calmer, warm conditions. Here’s your real-time update on what to expect today and into the weekend, perfect for planning your outdoor activities.

What’s the Weather Like in Minnesota Right Now

As of early morning on August 9, 2025 (around 3:24 AM CDT), Minnesota is waking up to muggy conditions with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s°F in the Twin Cities metro area. Overnight storms, which carried a level 2 risk of severe weather with damaging winds and hail, have mostly moved east or fizzled out. Skies are clearing, setting the stage for a warm and sunny Saturday.

How Hot Will It Get Today

Expect daytime highs to climb into the mid-80s°F across much of Minnesota, a slight cooldown from yesterday’s oppressive low 90s and triple-digit heat index. The humidity, with dew points in the mid-60s to low 70s, will keep things feeling sticky but less intense than Friday’s heat advisory. No new heat alerts are in place, but stay hydrated if you’re out and about!

Any More Storms on the Horizon

The severe storm threat from late Friday into early Saturday has largely passed. Scattered showers may linger in eastern Minnesota or western Wisconsin this morning, but they’re expected to dissipate by midday. Looking ahead, Sunday should be mostly sunny and less humid, while Monday might bring a chance of showers, especially in western Minnesota. Keep an eye on the FOX 9 Weather App for real-time radar updates.
