Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, April 3. We kick off with the weather, listeners. WCCO meteorologist Chris Shaffer reports precipitation cleared out overnight, giving us a mostly cloudy and dry morning commute around the Twin Cities. Expect highs above 38 degrees today near the airport, with winds calming down, though a chance of thunderstorms tonight could transition to light snow by early morning. That means bundle up for outdoor plans, but it should stay mostly dry for events.
Shifting to city hall, the Planning Commission meets next week on April 6 via YouTube, discussing zoning changes that could ease new housing near Lake Street, directly impacting our daily commutes and neighborhoods.
On the crime front from the past 24 hours, Minneapolis police report a sensitive incident: an arrest near Nicollet Mall for a robbery with minor injuries, no ongoing threat to public safety. Stay vigilant around downtown.
We are seeing new business buzz with The Current launching Minnesota Music Month tonight at Amsterdam Bar and Hall on 6th and Wabasha in Saint Paul, featuring NUR-D, runo plum, and Agnes Uncaged, plus special guests like Jeremy Messersmith. Doors open at 5:30, a great cultural kickoff.
For families, grab free fun today: Friday Kids Open Play at Ninth Street Soccer in Minneapolis from 10 to noon, Mini Mia storytelling at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, or the Webber Park Egg Hunt this evening. Tomorrow brings Fuller Park Egg Hunts right here in the city.
Local schools shine too, with High School for Recording Arts students performing at tonight's music event. Sports note: check out Gleason's Youth Open Gym in Eagan if your kids love gymnastics.
Job market stays steady, with about 15,000 openings in the metro, many in healthcare around Hennepin Avenue. Real estate sees median home prices around 350,000 dollars, up slightly, favoring buyers near Uptown.
Wrapping with a feel-good story: a University of Minnesota Raptor Center tour today from 10 to 4 lets us connect with rescued birds, reminding us of our wild side.
