We must have voted for rain on Election Day in Minnesota. A widespread soaking rain left more than one-half inch at many locations in eastern Minnesota on Tuesday.

Now we transition into a gradual drying trend with clouds lingering on Wednesday. Highs will run mostly in the 40s to low 50s across Minnesota on Wednesday.

Thursday and Friday look like beautiful late autumn weather days. Wednesday’s clouds clear out for plenty of sunshine on Thursday and Friday.

Highs on Thursday will ease into the lower 50s in the south. 

Friday brings the mildest day with November sun and highs well into the 50s.

Right now the weekend looks mainly cloudy with showers likely Saturday night and Sunday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Forecast System model shows showers sliding northward this weekend. Check out the map below.

Next week looks mild again. Highs could reach 60 degrees from the Twin Cities southward next Monday and Tuesday.

There are signs of another potential soaking rain by next Thursday.
