Rain and thunder give way to sunshine Tuesday
Soaking rain in parts of Minnesota Monday night. Summerlike temperatures return by next weekend.
Scattered rain and thunder delivered another soaking rainfall to parts of central and southern Minnesota. So far the weak to moderate low-pressure system has behaved with minimal severe weather. There’s still a low risk of severe weather. Keep an eye on the MPR severe weather live blog for up-to-the-minute updates.
Rainfall totals are expected to be between 0.5 and 1 inch or more in most areas by early Tuesday morning. Locally heavier rainfall pockets over an inch are likely.
Sun returns Tuesday and Wednesday
Sunshine returns to Minnesota during the day Tuesday and through most of Wednesday. High temperatures return to the 70s across Minnesota.
Next rain chance Thursday and Friday
Another weather system brings a chance for rain and thunder across Minnesota Thursday and Friday. NOAA’s GFS model is typical of solutions that bring scattered rain and thunder across our region.
Summerlike weekend ahead
The upcoming weekend looks warm and summery for Minnesota. Highs should reach the 80s, with dew points in the 60s this weekend.
It’s going to look and feel like summer for the last weekend of astronomical summer in MInnesota.
