The fall-like weather pattern with clipper after clipper continues on Friday with a better chance of a brief soaking rain in the drought-impacted northern part of Minnesota. 

There’s a small chance of a severe storm from roughly 1 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, going from central Minnesota initially and wrapping up around Red Wing at the end of that stretch. The storms will not affect everyone in Minnesota, and the rain is generally expected to be more even-keeled and longer lived in the morning for northern Minnesota (both of which are great for the level one and level two drought status up in Cass, Itasca, and Koochiching counties). 

Once the storms start to develop into a more cellular setup after 1 p.m., it won’t actually rain as long, but the rain could be more intense. That could cause some midday slowdowns on the roads.

Temperature wise, we’re not quite as chilly as earlier in the week. Brimson, Tower and the Mesabi Trail area were all down into the 30s a few times during the workweek. With the clouds overnight, it’ll be more like the mid-40s in places. We are climbing effectively one degree each day, but are still below average this week. 

Now we’ve made it to the weekend portion of the forecast! There’s a small chance of Arrowhead rains which we’re adding into the forecast, based off of data Friday morning. 

A brand new 90-day outlook was also just released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center. It shows the impact of El Niño from July to September.

We could be a little drier than average in northern Minnesota. Our team thinks this will be another warmer-than-normal summer, despite what the Climate Prediction Center map suggests.
