Heavy precipitation is expected to conclude the month of April. And with cooler temperatures earlier this week, some parts of the state got to see that precipitation freeze into snow.

“We’re definitely going to end up wetter than normal,” Climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley said.

With the expected rainfall, the hope is that the drought situation across Minnesota will continue to alleviate. Farmers across the state can also expect a wet and warm start to May for recently planted crops.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Seeley about the wet weather ahead in their weekly weather chat.
