Good morning from Minneapolis, the City of Lakes, the Mill City, the Heart of Hinterlandia. Quite early Monday morning it's 74℉/23℃; fair skies; light winds; visibility 10 miles at the airport. Heat index values will climb to around 100 degrees this afternoon. The greatest impacts from the heat will be felt in the urban core of the Twin Cities metro where little cooling relief is expected overnight. — Hazardous Weather Outlook, NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 'A new generation of neighbors who moved in post-pandemic have only ever seen the fountain as a stem and seed head, without the misty florets of water that created its iconic globosity. … 'But just before midnight on the last day of the Legislature, lawmakers approved $1.8 million for the fountain. '“Public spaces matter,” Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minnepolis, said in a statement after the session. “Beauty matters. Places where people can gather, connect, relax, and celebrate together matter. And this community never gave up on making that vision a reality.”' By Susan Du The Minnesota Star Tribune https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-loring-park-berger-fountain/601853157?utm_source=gift #Minneapolis #heatwave #DandelionFountain
