Lingering showers will track east Tuesday morning. More thundershowers are possible late Tuesday. Wednesday looks dry and sunny but more storms develop Thursday that could dampen the Fourth of July holiday.

More rainfall this week; some sun midweek 

We’ll see a break from rain much of the morning into early afternoon Tuesday with some peeks of sun breaking out. More showers and storms will be possible across northern and southeast Minnesota with redevelopment later this afternoon and evening. 

Locally heavy rainfall could occur in southeastern Minnesota. 

There’s a flood watch through 7 p.m. Tuesday for portions of northeastern Minnesota. Heavy rain fell overnight Monday night over already saturated soils.

Highs Tuesday will range from the mid-70s north to low 80s south. 

Wednesday will be the one day this week with dry weather and sunshine statewide. Enjoy it. It won’t last. Highs will be in the mid-80s south to upper 70s north.

More storms develop Thursday afternoon into the overnight with lingering showers Friday. There could be locally heavy rainfall once again, especially for central and southern Minnesota.

Total additional rainfall will range from 1 to 3 inches for most of southern Minnesota Thursday into Friday but there will be some locally higher amounts. 

While river levels have dropped, they are still high so we’ll need to watch rainfall closely in the coming days. 

The weekend will see some more isolated, less organized storm chances with otherwise dry weather.
