Following more storms Monday, Minnesota finally transitions into a much cooler and less humid weather pattern.
Wednesday’s forecast
Behind a cold front, all of Minnesota is cooler and drier Wednesday. Morning temperatures range from 30s north to 50s south.
Gusty winds from the northwest continue to draw cooler air across the state during the day. This brings highs 10 to 20 degrees below average, with 50s north and 60s south.
Dew points are also significantly lower behind the front, from the recent 60s and low 70s that made Minnesota very humid, to dew points only in the 20s and 30s by Wednesday afternoon. This is making the air feel noticeably drier.

Northern Minnesota is starting the day with some lower clouds that are bringing a little drizzle, but those clouds are expected to clear through the morning, and most of the state sees sunny skies Wednesday.
A few more clouds push into western Minnesota Wednesday evening, and that area could see rain showers by late evening.
This precipitation is the initial rain with a storm that brings widespread wet weather Thursday. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
