We’ll have scattered showers and thunderstorms through Monday night. Some sun should appear Tuesday with cooler midweek temperatures. 

Wet, windy Monday followed by cooler weather 

On and off scattered showers and some thunderstorms can be expected Monday into Monday night for much of the state. The low pressure center with this latest storm system will pass right through central Minnesota and the Twin Cities midday. It will be fairly windy from the southeast, becoming northwest at 10-30 mph. 

There’s a slight risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms in the far southeast corner of the state with a broader marginal (level 1 of 5) risk in southeast Minnesota. A couple isolated storms could produce some large hail briefly or high wind gusts. 

Many areas in western Minnesota have seen up to 1 inch of rainfall. The heaviest additional rainfall Monday will fall across central and northeast Minnesota where more than an inch could fall there.

There’s a flood watch posted for potions of northeast Minnesota later Monday morning through early Tuesday. Many rivers along the North Shore saw rapid increases in river levels Thursday night and could see levels go up again with more significant rainfall combined with some melting snow pack. 

We’ll see afternoon highs reach the 60s in southern Minnesota between rain bands Monday. 

Temperatures will then be slightly cooler than normal the rest of the week with mostly 50s in southern Minnesota and 40s north Tuesday through Thursday.
