NEXT Weather Alert this weekend in Minnesota for dangerous heat, humidity
Saturday and Sunday are both NEXT Weather Alert days in Minnesota due to dangerous heat and humidity.
An extreme heat warning is in effect for most of Minnesota and Wisconsin from noon Saturday through 9 p.m. Sunday.
Highs will reach the mid 90s on Saturday with sunshine and breezy winds. With the humidity, it'll feel like the 100s.

A cold front will drop through on Sunday night into Monday, bringing another round of showers and storms, along with more comfortable weather as highs return to the 70s for the rest of the week.

Three Confirmed Dead In North Dakota Derecho-Spawned Tornadoes
A derecho passed over the entirety of North Dakota on Friday night. Stretching more than 400 miles from Montana to Minnesota, the thunderstorm complex produced multiple tornadoes and wreaked havoc across the state. With devastation covering the vast distance of the state, reports were only beginning to emerge on Saturday morning. The Cass County Sheriff's Department confirmed that three people had died as a result of tornadoes in Enderlin, a rural community southwest of Fargo, ND. Overnight, NOAA received preliminary reports of tornadoes in Barnes, Ransom, Stutsman, and Cass counties. (MORE: What is a Derecho?) Christopher Muller, Director of Emergency Management in Beltrami County, Minnesota, reported, 'many roofs off buildings everywhere around Bemidji, vehicles flipped, windows blown in at the regional medical center' and possibly thousands of trees down in the area roughly 130 miles northwest of Fargo. Wind gusts as high as 106 miles per hour were reported in Bemidji. Digital Meteorologist Jonathan Belles notes that derechos are expected in the area this time of year. 'We're deep into derecho season now, which runs from May through July or August,' he says. 'These storm systems move the heat of the summer and get a little extra push from the jet stream near the Canadian border. While Friday night's top wind gust of 106 mph was on the high side of what we typically see, it isn't unheard of. They're most common from the Upper Midwest to the Ohio Valley, but can occur just about anywhere east of the Rockies.' As a result of those high winds and tornadoes, more than 23,000 customers are currently without power in North Dakota. The National Weather Service will be sending out damage assessment crews to survey the areas hit by high winds and tornadoes this weekend.

Bemidji sustains "extensive" storm damage; tornado kills 3 in North Dakota, officials say
Three people are dead in North Dakota, and tens of thousands are without power in northern Minnesota after powerful winds swept across the upper Midwest Friday and overnight Saturday 100+ mph wind gusts in Bemidji area, officials say The National Weather Service in Grand Forks reported wind gusts of up to 106 mph at Bemidji Regional Airport early Saturday. An emergency manager there reported extensive damage from falling trees and cars with people trapped inside. Beltrami County Emergency Management said the damage to the Bemidji area is "extensive" and that scores of power lines were down. "Please do not travel unless it is an emergency.

El Paso, Southern New Mexico at risk of flash flooding during upcoming Monsoon storms
The monsoon season is off to an active start in El Paso and the surrounding region, as rainstorms are expected to hit the Borderland. El Paso has a 30% chance of precipitation on Saturday, June 21, with chances increasing through Monday and Tuesday, June 23-24, according to the National Weather Service. El Paso, along with parts of southern New Mexico, has a slight risk for flash flooding on both Monday and Tuesday. "We could be getting some decent rain here in El Paso," said Mike Hardiman, forecaster with the National Weather Service. "It's a good start (to the monsoon), since we need the rain and we need the cooler weather." As moisture moves in from Northern Mexico, temperatures are expected to drop from triple-digit heat to the upper 80s by next week — that's 10 to 12 degrees below normal. While the rain offers a break from the scorching heat, there is always a chance that a monsoonal storm can cause water to pool in certain areas. Thunderstorms may linger in one area for a period of time, dropping heavy rain and causing localized flooding, Hardiman said. "This is a daily thing that happens in the summer," Hardiman said. "You get a heavy enough rainstorm over the right spot, flooding can occur. We're expecting that we could run into some issues here." The monsoon season typically brings the most rainfall to the region, from June 15 to Sept. 30. This year, West Texas and most of New Mexico have equal chances for above-normal, near-normal, or below-normal precipitation. While the first days of monsoon are expected to be active, it doesn't mean it will stay that way. "The thing is that monsoon tends to come in these bursts," Hardiman said. "Sometimes they can last a week or two and we get a little break. So I wouldn't be surprised if we get to taper down a little bit, but hopefully we'll keep this pattern going where it stays relatively active without too many problems."

Stay informed and monitor local radio and television stations. Avoid flood waters at all costs and evacuate immediately when water starts to rise. Stay Informed: Listen to radio and television, including NOAA Weather Radio if possible, check the Internet and social media for information and updates. Get to Higher Ground: If you live in a flood-prone area or are camping in a low-lying area, get to higher ground immediately. Obey Evacuation Orders: If told to evacuate, do so immediately. Lock your home when you leave. If you have time, disconnect utilities and appliances. Practice Electrical Safety: Don't go into a basement or any room if water covers the electrical outlets or if cords are submerged. If you see sparks or hear buzzing, crackling, snapping or popping noises--get out! Stay out of water that may have electricity. Avoid Flood Waters: Don't walk through flood waters. It only takes 6 inches of moving water to knock you off your feet. If you are trapped by moving water, move to the highest possible point and call 911 if possible.
