Behind a cold front, sunshine returns Tuesday, but there will also be wind gusts over 30 mph and cooler high temperatures.
Tuesday’s forecast
A cold front swept across Minnesota overnight, bringing showers and storms along with it, including a couple stronger storms in north-central Minnesota. Most rain amounts stayed well under a quarter inch, although much of the Arrowhead saw higher amounts.
Now, as the front continues east, it has taken the precipitation along with it, except for in the Arrowhead, where isolated showers and storms could linger throughout the day.
For the rest of the state, skies are clearing quickly behind the front and Tuesday will be mostly sunny.

Behind the cold front, windy conditions prevail Tuesday, with gusts that are likely to top 30 mph at times.
Following a warm Monday, and with some cloud cover overnight as the showers and storms moved through, Tuesday morning is mild for early September, with lows in the 50s and 60s.
However, the winds from the northwest are pulling in cooler air, so highs will only make it into the 70s (60s for the Arrowhead), which is seasonable, but noticeable cooler than Monday.
As the winds continue to draw in cooler air, even more of Minnesota will be highs in the 60s by Wednesday.
That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
