Look for another 90 degree day Wednesday. The heat and poor air quality continue through at least Friday with rain possible in northwestern Minnesota Wednesday and statewide by Saturday. 

We’ve racked up seven days in the 90s so far this year in the Twin Cities, after Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday will make it eight.

Thursday will continue to be hot in southern Minnesota but start to cool in the northwest as clouds and the chance of showers increase.

Wednesday will see some showers and thunder in far northwestern Minnesota as the next  system inches very slowly eastward.

It’s still looking promising that we could see more of a widespread significant rainfall total through the weekend.
