Clouds and showers will linger Monday, especially in northern Minnesota where a wintry mix of precipitation will fall in some places. Tuesday will be warmer with storms possible later in the day. 

The weekend rains have been substantial for much of southwest and central Minnesota, and up to the North Shore. Most of those areas saw about 2 or more inches of widespread rainfall. 

Even northwest Minnesota, which has missed out on a lot of the significant recent rains, got some rainfall. 

April’s month-to-date precipitation is running above normal for most of Minnesota. The exception is north-central Minnesota from Bemidji to International Falls.

Lingering showers Monday, then warmer Tuesday with storms late

Clouds and cool weather linger Monday. Scattered showers will continue to linger for especially northern Minnesota where the rain will mix with wintry precipitation at times.

A winter weather advisory continues for northeast Minnesota through 1 p.m. Monday. Some slushy snowfall and wintry precipitation will be possible for much of far northern Minnesota into midday Monday. 

Temperatures will be mainly in the 40s and 50s Monday afternoon.

Overnight Monday night will see lows near freezing in northern Minnesota to the low 40s south.

Tuesday will be warmer and brighter with highs near 70 in southern Minnesota. 

Storms will develop ahead of a cool front later in the day Tuesday and into Tuesday night. 

Some of those storms could be strong to severe. There’s a slight (level 2 of 5) and marginal risk (level 1 of 5) of severe weather in mainly far southern Minnesota.

Another chance for showers returns Thursday into Friday along with some cooler weather. That rainfall could be significant. Another 1 to 2 inches of additional rainfall is possible this week between late Tuesday and early Friday.
