We'll miss her, but we're happy for her, too. She's heading out west to report in her hometown of Los Angeles. We wish her the very best. Farewell, Christiane! | WCCO & CBS News Minnesota | Facebook

The dangerous heat has our Next Weather team declaring today a Next Weather Alert Day. Meteorologist Lisa Meadows breaks down what that means, how long it will last and the precautions you should be taking. Be prepared for what’s ahead at wcco.com/weather. | WCCO & CBS News Minnesota

Rain totals from the WCCO Weather Watcher Network (as of 9am Friday) are GREAT news for the drought. Off & on rain will continue for the next 36 hours, ending with a dousing Saturday evening that could cause urban & basement flooding. Details on that on WCCO-TV | CBS Minnesota through 10am with Riley O’Connor, and beginning at noon with me on WCCO and streaming all afternoon on CBSN Minnesota! #mnwx #Wiwx | Mike Augustyniak
