Happy Thursday, Minneapolis! And welcome to the second edition of the Minneapolis Daily! A new newsletter filled with everything you need to know for the day. Now, let's get started.

First, today's weather: As the extreme drought continues, the Twin Cities may be lucky enough to get two major rainstorms in one week. "Multiple rounds of thunderstorms and widespread heavy rainfall will likely bring several inches to parts of the region Thursday afternoon into Friday," the National Weather Service said.

Thursday's high will be 72, with a low of 67.
