Brooklyn Park, MN Weather Forecast
Hennepin County, Minnesota
The next few hours
A dry morning, mostly sunny
It is 42°, but the wind is taking it down to 37° on exposed skin. The sky is mostly sunny.
The wind backs into the west-southwest around 6 PM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. Nothing in the next day and a half is wet enough to move plans for.
Colour and bar height both show how heavy the rain would look on radar. A dotted line means the model has no reading for that hour, which is not the same as no rain.

How well can the network see Brooklyn Park?
The nearest Doppler radar is KMPX (Minneapolis, MN), 21 miles to the SSW. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Brooklyn Park its center is about 1,200 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Brooklyn Park, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Brooklyn Park is closer to its radar than 83% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KMIC · Minneapolis/Crystal Arpt on the ASOS/AWOS network, 3.4 miles away. Close enough that its readings are, for practical purposes, the conditions in town.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Minnesota observing network as of this build.
