Minneapolis Local Pulse: April 19 - Storms Behind Us, Community Moving Forward
Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, April 19.
We start with the weather shaping our day. Mostly cloudy skies hang over us now at around 46 degrees near Blaine Airport, with southeast winds at 6 miles per hour. Expect a 50 percent chance of rain showers today, highs in the low 50s. That cool, damp vibe means grab your rain jacket for outdoor plans, but it wont derail much. Flurries could linger overnight, keeping things brisk into tomorrow.
Over in southeast Minnesota, severe storms hit hard Friday with at least eight confirmed tornadoes near Rochester, damaging over 100 homes but only minor injuries reported. Our area stayed safe, though it reminds us to stay weather-aware.
On a positive note, we loved hearing about the Coming Home Re-Entry Resource Fair last Tuesday at Minneapolis Central Library. Twin Cities Rise connected over 150 formerly incarcerated folks with fair-chance jobs from Metro Transit and others, plus workshops and headshots. It shows our community opening doors to second chances.
Todays a great day to hit the Mall of America for the Totally Rad Vintage Fest on the fourth floor east, running till 6 p.m. with sustainable retro clothing and accessories from cool vendors. And sports fans, catch the Minnesota Twins facing Cincinnati Reds at 1:10 p.m. at Target Field on 353 North 5th Street, or Minnesota Frost hockey at noon at Grand Casino Arena.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the Get In Gear 5K, 10K and half marathon this Saturday in Minneapolis, drawing thousands. And the Rise and Remember Festival honors George Floyds legacy May 23 to 25 at George Floyd Square, with a Night of Honor, self-care fair and talks on justice.
No major crime incidents or public safety alerts in the past 24 hours around town. City Hall has been quiet on big decisions lately, but well keep you posted on anything hitting daily life like transit or housing.
In feel-good news, kids are running strong today at the Healthy Kids Running Series race two in nearby Eden Prairie. Our neighborhoods thrive when we cheer these young athletes.
Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe for daily updates. This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
