Some rain on the way as Minnesota drought expands
Mild temperatures Thursday will give way to cooler conditions Friday and Saturday. We have some rain on the way Thursday night but the heaviest will fall in areas to the southeast of the drought, which continues to expand across Minnesota.
It’s the time of year when meteorologists start scanning the medium-range forecast models for potential snowstorms.
Wind, record warmth Wednesday; weekend rain track shifts
Wednesday will be the peak of our warmth with highs well into the 70s across central and southern Minnesota. Gusty winds will blow from the south at 15-25 mph with gusts of 30-40 mph. Rain is possible Thursday night into the weekend but the heaviest area is shifting.
Record warm Wednesday and Wednesday night; rain develops Thursday night
Another very warm day Wednesday with highs in the 70s and 60s north. We’ll have sunshine filtered through high clouds with blustery south winds at 15-25 mph. Thursday will again be warm with rain showers possible Thursday night and a more significant weekend system.
Potential record warmth followed by soaking rains, cooler temperatures
High will be in the 60s and even low 70s Tuesday with warmer temperatures Wednesday, in the mid-70s across southern Minnesota. A significant storm system could bring soaking rains Thursday night into the weekend.
