Friday, August 14, brings partly sunny skies and a high near 82°F, with a 30% chance of showers mainly after 5 p.m. and showers and thunderstorms becoming more likely Friday night. For the full forecast and today’s Minnesota history, read Hastings, MN Weather + On This Date: Friday, August 14, 2026.
Friday’s list has a useful end-of-summer mix: something happening tonight, programs opening for fall, local hiring and a few updates families and Raiders fans may want to save.
Because several items involve registration, job availability or outdoor plans, the links matter as much as the summaries. LOCAL 10 points readers back to the responsible organizations so they can check the latest details for themselves.
