MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA\u00a0\u2014 The Minnesota Weather Service issued a statewide Mugging Advisory on Friday, forecasting a 90% chance of robbery throughout the Twin Cities this evening, with scattered purse snatchings expected to spread into surrounding suburbs after sunset.<\/p>\n

“We’re seeing a large low-pressure crime system drifting eastward through Minneapolis,” said chief meteorologist Dave Larson while gesturing toward a color-coded radar map displaying icons of masked stick figures relieving pedestrians of their wallets. “Residents should expect sustained muggings through the evening commute, with isolated carjackings possible after dark.”<\/p>\n

According to the seven-day forecast, Friday will bring mostly sunny skies with a 20% chance of drizzle and a 90% chance of being politely asked for your phone at gunpoint. Saturday’s outlook predicts lower humidity, higher temperatures, and favorable conditions for catalytic converter theft.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists pointed to an animated Doppler radar showing a dense band of robberies sweeping across Minneapolis<\/a> before weakening slightly over St. Paul and then intensifying again wherever someone looked like they had just gotten paid.<\/p>\n

At press time, the Minnesota Weather Service had extended its Mugging Advisory through the weekend while noting there was a slight chance of law enforcement sometime next Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
