More typical October chill level on the way.

An October storm brings a few feisty thunderstorms and needed rainfall Wednesday.

A potent storm bringing showers and storms Wednesday is also ushering noticeably cooler weather that lingers through the weekend.

A storm tracking across southern Minnesota is bringing everything from a few heavy areas of rain and storms to a big temperature drop.

Our balmy and sunny October weather is about to change.

It’s the warmest on record for Duluth, Minn., and ties the warmest on record for the Twin Cities. Minnesota is just one of the areas setting records for the warmest start to meteorological autumn on record.

Most of Minnesota sees another warm day Tuesday, but colder weather is already spreading in north, bringing highs only in the 40s and 50s by late week.

Cooler air starts to spread in from the northwest Tuesday, causing a temperature contrast of about 30 degrees across Minnesota by the afternoon.

This is among the longest runs of summerlike weather in Minnesota on record.

A wide temperatures swing is ahead this week for Minnesota.
