Winds will pick up on Tuesday, and high temperatures will be well below normal. The best chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms will be in the northern half of Minnesota, but we could see a shower and isolated thunderstorm in the Twin Cities metro area Tuesday afternoon.
Dorian is currently forecast to grow into a lower-level Category 1 hurricane, meaning its sustained winds would narrowly top the 74-mph threshold for a hurricane.
Areas of rain will cross Minnesota on Monday. Scattered thunderstorms are possible mainly in the afternoon. Tuesday will be breezy and rather cool with scattered showers.
We’ve had several consecutive dry days, but rain is in the forecast. Areas of showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop in western Minnesota and spread eastward during the afternoon and evening hours. Most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin will see periods of rain with some embedded t-storms overnight Sunday night and on Monday.
Sunday will be breezy, with rain chances highest to the west. The Twin Cities metro area could see a shower or thunderstorm late Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening.
This has been a nice stretch of weather for Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Rain chances in the metro area hold off until late Sunday, but western Minnesota could see some showers as early as Sunday morning.
We’ll see a lot of high temps in the 70s over the next few days, and rain chances hold off until late in the weekend. Our cooling bills are smaller this summer than last summer.
