IS SUING MINNESOTA OVER THE STATE'S FIRST-IN-THE-NATION LAW THAT BANS NUDIFICATION TECHNOLOGY ON WEBSITES AND APPS.

X.A.I.

'S CHATBOT AND IMAGE GENERATOR GROK IS AVAILABLE ONLINE.

IT SAYS MINNESOTA'S LAW IS OVERLY BROAD AND BANS MANY CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED IMAGES AND VIDEOS.

MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON SAID HIS OFFICE HAD NOT BEEN SERVED WITH THE LAWSUIT YET OR SEEN IT, BUT THAT HE KNEW USING A.I.

>>> STACY IS IN TONIGHT JOINING US FOR WEATHER.

IT WAS MUGGY OUT THERE TODAY.

>> Stacy: YES, HOT AND MUGGY.

WE DID SPEND MOST OF THE DAY UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY ACROSS THE VIEWING AREA.

ALL OF THAT HAS EXPIRED.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME FAIRLY WARM TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND THERE ARE SOME CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FAR NORTH TONIGHT, A BETTER CHANCE ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW EVENING AND TOMORROW NIGHT.

I'LL HAVE MORE ON [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, IT WAS JUST ONE MORE HOT AND MUGGY DAY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.

WE'LL BE SEEING FAIRLY QUIET WEATHER FOR MOST OF US OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, TEMPERATURES WILL STAY WARM, HIGHS FOR MANY OF US WILL BE IN THE 70s.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA TOMORROW -- OR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT, BUT BY TOMORROW, MOST OF US HAVE A PRETTY GOOD SHOT OF SEEING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY LATE TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT, SOME COULD LINGER INTO SATURDAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE OUR TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER AND WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT IS 83 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT OUR STUDIO, WINDS ARE CALM.

THE DEW POINT IS 72.

SO IT'S VERY MUGGY OUT THERE.

HUMIDITY IS 69%.

IN BRAINERD, CLEAR SKIES, 81, AND 71 IS OUR DEW POINT.

PRESSURE IS RISING AND WINDS ARE SOUTH AT 6 MILES PER HOUR.

IT HAS BEEN A PRETTY QUIET DAY OUT THERE, WE DID HAVE THE HEAT, WE HAD THE HUMIDITY, AND WE HAD SOME PATCHY SMOKE AND WE'LL CONTINUE HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

WE WILL BE SEEING, IT LOOKS LIKE CLOUDS INCREASING, BUT SOME PATCHY SMOKE STILL POSSIBLE, AND A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF MINNESOTA, A BETTER CHANCE FOR THE ACTIVE WEATHER ARRIVES TOMORROW ACROSS LAKELAND COUNTRY AND AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW EVENING AND TOMORROW NIGHT, WE COULD BE SEEING HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A FOGGY START TODAY IN MENAHGA, ARLENE SENDING US THIS PHOTO AND SAMROSE SAYING IT WAS A HAZY SUNRISE OVER LOWER RED LAKE.

GARY SPOTTING SOME SANDHILL CRANES IN DEERWOOD, AND RALPH COUNTING 13 TURKEYS IN JENKINS, ANGELA SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE EVENING SUNSET IN CASS LAKE.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, ARLENE IN MENAHGA REPORTING 65, CALM WITH SOME FOG THIS MORNING.

BOB IN BLUFFTON, A HIGH OF 92.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, HUMID, WITH A HIGH OF 92.

STEPHANIE IN BRAINERD, A HIGH OF 92.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE, PATCHY SMOKE TODAY, TOPPING OUT AT 91.

LOOKING AT OUR ALMANAC, BRAINERD TOPPED OUT AT 92 TODAY, 10 DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE, 67 WAS THE LOW.

WE HAD SUNSET AT 8:51.

BEMIDJI, REACHING A HIGH TODAY OF 91, MORE THAN 10 DEGREES ABOVE THAT AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

62 WAS OUR LOW AND WE HAD SUNRISE AT 5:54.

SO AS WE LOOK AT OUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, WE COULD START TO SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA IN THE MORNING, BUT WE'LL SEE MORE ACTIVITY AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY.

THEN LATER IN THE DAY IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEEING SOME OF THE HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA, WE'RE LOOKING AT A LEVEL 1 OUT OF 5 RISK FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE STORMS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE MAINLY IN THE 80s ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA, PARK RAPIDS COULD CLIMB UP TO 90.

THEN AS WE MOVE INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA, WE SHOULD BE SEEING HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80s AGAIN RIGHT AROUND 90 DEGREES.

SO HERE IS OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY, SOME PATCHY SMOKE.

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE SO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA, WITH LOWS NEAR 70.

PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY TOMORROW, BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, BUT ONCE AGAIN, STILL LOOKING AT PATCHY SMOKE WITH HIGHS NEAR 86.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE WEEKEND FORECAST, WE COULD STILL SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY, BUT SUNNY SKIES RETURN FOR THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE COOLER THAN WE HAD TODAY.

WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID-80s, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO STAY AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY WITH POSSIBLY A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

BACK TO YOU.

GREGG WOULD GET IT BACK TO EVEN AT 15, BUT AT 16, WHITE WITH THE WHITE HOT PUTTER, GOES BACK TO 1-UP, HE'D TAKE THE MATCH ON THE NEXT HOLE, 2-1.

ANN FROM PARK RAPIDS DOWN 1, LEAVES HERSELF A TOUGH DOWNHILL PUTT, NEEDS IT TO HAVE THE HOLE, PUTS THE COOKIE IN THE COOKIE JAR.

SHE WINS 1-UP OVER ALEXIS.
