Nice Wednesday ahead of showers Thursday

It’s another seasonably chilly start with lots of temperatures in the 30s and 40s for much of Minnesota.

We’ll see a fair amount of sunshine once again with some patchy, fair weather cumulus clouds developing midday. Highs will be mostly in the 60s though parts of the Red River Valley could get to near 70 degrees.

Clouds will move in Wednesday night, which will prevent temperatures from being as chilly. Showers will develop in western Minnesota and attempt to move east, but high pressure and dry air will limit rainfall amounts in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin into Thursday.

Portions of west-central Minnesota could see one-half inch to 1 inch of rainfall while those totals will quickly drop off farther east.

We’ll then see slightly warmer temperatures for Friday and early next week. Highs in the low 70s should become more widespread.

Another round of showers is possible Friday night into the first half of Saturday. That system looks to spread the rainfall around a bit more than the Thursday disturbance.
