Yeah, they're long.
Holiday weekend because it is Juneteenth.
The federal offices are closed.
You won't be getting any mail ty

So let's get to guide.
A lot of people might be
having plans outdoors today.

Juneteenth this morning.
The fog will lift late this
morning and sunshine on the way.
I promise. Highs.
Back in the 80s and 90s for the state today,
most of us are going to see
temperatures climb to the 90s.
Later this afternoon
we're already in the 80s.
Late morning you'll see temperatures flooding
with that 80 degree mark by 11:00 AM.
Right now it's 65.
It's muggy.
You have some low lying clouds.
SE wind at 3 mph 90 later this afternoon.
We're heating up.
Today is just day one with
forecast highs in the 90s,
several days this week with
temperatures at 90 or above.
Southeast winds at 5 to 10
mph will crank up the winds
tomorrow along with the heat.
By midweek I'll show it.

Thank you.

Overall quiet on this Monday.

Not causing any issues for now.
One matter of hours of five
young women killed in a crash
in Minneapolis over the weekend
will be laid to rest. They
died after police say a driver
blew through a red light after
exiting 35 W at Lake Street.

Islamic center in Bloomington where the
young women are being remembered. Eva
Jason, leaders here at the Dar Al Farouq
Center say these five young women were
loved here in the Muslim commun.
They described them as leaders
and volunteers as well.
There were two who were 20 years old,
two were 19 and one was just 17 and had
just graduated from Medina High School.
Leaders tell us they were best friends
and they were celebrating an upcoming
wedding the night they were kil.
Over the weekend,
the community gathered to remember them and
today a funeral prayer will be held here.
I think right now our biggest
focus is the families.
You know, giving them space to ,
to process, to grieve,
and the community is space thaty
can gather and you know and pra.
A launch good campaign to support the
families of those affected has raised
more than $340,000 as of this morning.

of that other car this morning?
Well, Jason, police tell us that
after the accident, the driver
actually got out of his car and.
Now, thankfully, he was taken to
the hospital and into custody.
They tell us that charges coulde

here in Bloomington this mornin.
We are following breaking
news in the last 9 hours.
Brooklyn Center police are
investigating A homicide,
so officers say they got a call about a
shooting in the 5300 block of Bryant Ave.
N When they got there,
they learned a man was taken toe
hospital where he died and police say they
don't think this was a random shooting.
So far no one's been arrested Ie
last hour and a half. The Lowry.
overpass above 94 in Minneapolis
opened back up after a crash.
Our photojournalist got to the
scene shortly after it happened.
Near the intersection of Lowry .
North and Washington Ave.
in the last hour,
we have reached out to police to
find out exactly what happened .
And once we learn more,
we'll let you know right away.
This morning, state troopers are
investigating a deadly crash in
Candy Oh High County police say
yesterday morning a car and a
minivan crashed in New London.
Three people died. This morning,
two people are in custody after running
from police across a busy Interstate.
Take a look at this video.
Police say they were chasing a suspicious
car but lost sight of it in Eag.
The car was then later spotted on traffic
cameras with a man and woman pulling over.
And you see it here,
They start running across I-35 in Saint Paul.
The woman was taken to the hosp,
but her injuries are not seriou.
Across the state this morning,
flags are at half staff in honof
Saint Paul Fire Captain Chris Parsons.
He passed away from cardiac
arrest on Thursday.
Captain Parson served the Saint
Paul Fire Department for 23
years and fought to protect the
health of fellow firefighters.
Governor Walls called Parsons
a dedicated firefighter who is
well respected by his family,
friends and colleagues,
a March and party in the East
Phillips neighborhood of Minneas
after a victory in the legal
fights over the Roof Depot when
E Phillips is under attack.
Dozens of people came together o
celebrate after the city agreed to let a
community group by the Roof Depot site.
The celebration included free f,
music, gifts and community resources.
It marks the end of a decade log
fight to not demolish the build.
The key to the community
was their persistence.
They never gave up and that's
a significant message I want
to relate to other communities.
Never give up because you can't succeed.
It all goes according to plan.
With funding, E Phillips Neighborhood
Institute will close on the buig
next summer, with construction
starting shortly after. Today is
Juneteenth. This day marks the emancipation
of slaves here in the United St.
Earlier this year, Governor Wall signed a
bill making it an official state holiday,
and there are a lot of events
happening around the metro toda.
Some of the big ones include a
commemoration at the State Capil
that goes in from noon until 4:.
Also at noon in the Rondo
neighborhood in Saint Paul,
there will be entertainment,
a job fair and speakers.
And then in Minneapolis,
Soul of the South Side hosts a e
arts and music festival that's
happening from noon until 8:00 .
And just a reminder here, most federal,
state and local government offis
will be closed, including the courts.
You also won't get regular
mail delivery today,
just certain priority packages.
And in Minneapolis and St.
Paul,
free parking at parking meters,
somebody really hot. This week,
if you've seen guys forecast ine
90s and a lot of people are goig
to look for ways to cool down,
and a really popular spot are gg
to be all the pools out there.
But one spot needs a lot of rep.
I'm Gordon Severson.
The public swimming pool
here in Crystal is leaking,
city officials say,
about 18,000 gallons a day.
It was built in 1968 and the man
pool area needs to be replaced.
The city is going to keep this pool open
this summer while it's still leg
and then fix it sometime next y.
The city of Crystal is investing
$3,000,000 and the state
legislature is kicking in just
over $2,000,000 to help them out
608 on the clock. Right now,
millions of Americans are cleang
up after a steady stream of
deadly storms blew through the
region in the last 72 hours,
so take a look at this new video from Texas.
Neighbors here coming together o
pick up debris in the Panhandle.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott says
he's never seen damage in towns
like he's seen in Periton.
The three people were killed an0
others were hurt there and in Mississippi.
A storm there ripped up trees,
sending 1 falling into an 11 yer
olds bedroom and onto her bed
inches from her head.
Her family had to dig her
out of a hole to free her.
Knowing that I
can't.
When you see the tree and I tooa
picture of it, when you go in te
and you see that, I don't know w
she made it out.
Yeah, she walked away from the
scary situation, but nothing.
But with nothing but a few scratches.
Some amazing video there guys. Wild video.
