Behind Tuesday’s storm system, all of Minnesota sees a day of below average temperatures, which has not happened often during what has been a very hot summer so far.
Wednesday’s forecast
The storm that brought widespread showers and storms Tuesday cleared out for most of Minnesota overnight. As of Wednesday morning, there are just a few lingering showers in the southeastern corner of the state that continue to clear through the morning.
Almost all of Minnesota is starting Wednesday in the 50s, with a few 60s southeast, where the rain is lingering, and a couple chilly 40s in the Arrowhead.
Northern Minnesota already saw some of that cooler air Tuesday, but in southern Minnesota, these Wednesday morning temperatures are a 10- to 20-degree drop in many spots versus Tuesday morning.
