Good afternoon, I'm Lauren Lemann.
Check new this noon hour and SUV
careens into a restaurant
in northeast Minneapolis.
Video from that scene suggests 2
vehicles collided at the intersection
of East Hennepin and 4th,
causing a Nissan Murano to crash
through a front window at Stray Dog.
Police were on the scene as both
SUV's were loaded onto flatbed
tow trucks and hauled away.
There's still no word yet on
whether either driver or anyone
else on the scene is injured.
Also developing this noon,
we're hoping to learn more about
an attack at a traffic accident in
Fargo that left one police officer
dead and two others injured.
Friday night.
The fallen officer, Jake Wallen,
grew up in Saint Michael.
This afternoon,
there are growing memorials
where Officer Wallen was killed.
Around Fargo,
flags are flying at half staff
and at 1 Restaurant.
A table is set and reserved in his honor.
Walleen was only 23 years old.
Before he was an officer,
he was a student at Saint
Michael Albertville High School.
He played linebacker for the
football team and his former
football coach happened to be in
Fargo at the time of the shooting,
later learning it was Jake who was killed.
I just always remember his smile,
you know he was. He genuinely enjoyed
other people being a part of the
team and that team dynamic was.
You know, you can just tell he
would be successful in any sort
of career path that he went into.
And when I found out that he was
going to go into the into the
National Guard in the military,
I knew that was kind of the protective
instincts that you could see in him or
the competitive personality traits,
I I knew he'd be successful there.
We reached out to check on the other two
officers who were shot as of this morning.
Officer Andrew Dotas and Officer Tyler
Hawes are both critical but stable.
We still don't know much about the 37
year old suspect who was shot by another
officer and later died at the hospital.
Fargo police say Mohammed Barakat
didn't have a criminal history.
You can look for the latest developments
online and coming up on Care 11 News at 4:00.
Well, today could be the day someone in
the US is nearly a billion dollars richer.
Tonight's Powerball jackpots
estimated at $900 million,
making it the third biggest
Powerball jackpot in history.
Behind 1.5 billion in 2016 and
the just over 2 billion in 2022,
If you take the cash option you
would walk away with $465.1 million.
Lot of numbers there.
Here's some numbers you might not like.
The odds of winning tonight?
One in 292,000,000.
But then some people may have felt like
they won the jackpot with the weather today,
if you like a little cooler temperatures.
It's very refreshing,
it really is. And it looks like this
will be kind of the one day, Lauren,
where temperatures are cooler than average.
Over the next couple of days,
temperatures will be back up in the 80s,
and by the time we get into next week,
the potential for 90s
returns to the forecast.
Right now it's a comfortable 71 degrees,
a lot of 60s in central and northern
Minnesota right now and a breezy northwest
wind anywhere between 10 and 15 mph,
gusting over 20 at.
Times it's because we're on the
backside of this big low pressure
system which is spending some
cooler Canadian air our direction.
You can see more clouds north and
northeast of the Twin Cities close
to that low pressure center, but.
We do not expect any rain showers
to come out of these clouds,
at least over the next couple of days.
We will continue to stay dry.
Here's a look at the next 12 hours.
Breezy this afternoon,
but the wind will relax after the
sun goes down a little before 9:00.
O'clock this evening and you can see
temperatures warming up mid 70s,
peaking between about 4:00 and 6:00
O'clock tonight before we fall into the
upper 50s for overnight lows tonight,
warming back up more seasonal
temperatures as we head into Tuesday and.
Look at the peak temperatures on Wednesday.
Mid to even upper 80s possible
that is out ahead of a cold front,
which would be sparking some
stronger thunderstorms Wednesday
afternoon and evening.
So that's going to be our next chance,
I should say our next opportunity
and seeing some beneficial rain.
Although it's not going to
be a widespread soaker,
it's just going to be some afternoon
showers and thunderstorms that
move through cooler and breezier
as we head into Thursday behind
that frontal system and looks like
a mostly dry weekend ahead.
However,
later Saturday afternoon into
the evening we might see a.
Few stray showers pop up,
but regardless, Lauren,
temperatures will remain in the
mid to upper 80s.
And again heading into next week,
potential for 90s is back in the forecast.
All right then.
Thank you.
Well,
if
you've had a cold recently,
you are not alone.
Summer colds are on the rise at
a rate we haven't seen in years.
Doctors say they're seeing more
colds now than during the pandemic.
Take a look at this chart from
the CDC showing how the virus is
peaked this summer nationwide.
Doctors believe pandemic precautions
we took kept the cold at Bay,
but that's not the case anymore.
Well, thanks for joining us this noon.
See you back here for another
update in about 1/2 hour.
