Dry June causes topsoil moisture concerns in southern, central Minnesota
So far this summer has been drier than average, even with recent rain events and a chance for storms this weekend. On Thursday, the U.S. Drought Monitor released a map showing a large swath of central and southern Minnesota abnormally dry, with some areas moving into moderate drought.
Isolated showers Friday; strong storms late Sunday
Muggy, unstable air will lead to more isolated showers and thunder late Friday. A better chance of storms will move in late Sunday with temperatures heating up late next week.
Isolated showers again possible Friday
A humid, unstable airmass will again yield a few isolated showers and thunderstorms Friday. Dew points drop for eastern Minnesota late Friday into Saturday. Sunday brings a better chance of storms.
Humid with thunderstorms possible Thursday
Humid air and a frontal boundary will be the focus for some pop-up showers and thunderstorms midday Thursday into the afternoon and evening mainly across southern and western Minnesota.
Warm, muggy, spotty storms Thursday
With high dew points and a meandering frontal boundary, expect isolated to spotty showers and thunder to pop up for some in western and southern Minnesota Thursday. Highs will range from the 80s south to the 70s north.
