U.S. Drought Monitor report

Some good news and some bad news for Minnesota in the latest U.S. Drought Monitor update, issued earlier today.

And a Hennepin County judge today found a Minneapolis man not guilty by reason of mental illness in the 2023 killing of a Loring Park grocery store clerk.

All that and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
