Good morning from Minneapolis, where a line of thunderstorms moved through Lesser Minnesota before dawn, rousing your correspondent from peaceful slumber. We could use the rain.

Quite early Wednesday morning it was 69℉; overcast skies; visibility 10 miles at the airport.

• High heat and humidity are expected Wednesday with heat indices into the 90s to around 100 across southern and eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin.

• Severe thunderstorms are possible primarily along and east of the I-35 corridor Wednesday. Severe thunderstorms will have the potential to produce large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes Wednesday afternoon and evening.

Alice was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire-Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw her. "Cheshire-Puss," began Alice, rather timidly, "would you please tell me which way I ought to go from here?"

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving the right paw 'round, "lives a Hatter; and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like; they're both mad."

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat; "we're all mad here."

#mnwx #Hinterlandia #staticky

I #NeedHelp, #CatOwners! I have 3 long-haired #cats. Two are random mixes, and one's a #MaineCoon. We have #StaticElectricity issues⚡

PomPom: Similar fur to maine coons. Sleeps above an electric heater. Is NOT staticky.

Pantera: All grey base coat. Goes everywhere Amorphis goes. Is NOT staticky.

Amorphis: Maine coon. He is SUPER #STATICKY! All his fur is sucked in towards his body & he looks as pathetic as a wet cat🙈

How is he the only one who goes *fzzt!* all the time?
