MSP Quick look forecast:

Two rain chances?

This is something new. Not one, but two potential shots of rain in the next few days?

Source: ISU

The NAM is printing out temps mariginally cold enough for at least a chance of snow early Tuesday morning. Some wet snow flakes can't be ruled out.

Saturday's system looks impressive, and has at least the chance to produce a widespread, meaningful, soaking rain for much of Minnesota.
