Updraft

Saturday was our warmest day in the Twin Cities metro area and much of southern Minnesota since last Tuesday. Sunday will be even warmer. More good news: the upgrade of the National Weather Service radar in Chanhassen is moving along nicely.

High temperatures finally rebound this weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible in parts of Minnesota and western Wisconsin Saturday afternoon/evening. A severe thunderstorm is possible. We have details on the thunderstorm chances and our nice Sunday forecast. The Minnesota fall color map has been updated too.

A raw September Friday will give way to warmer temperatures for the weekend and especially Monday and Tuesday. Look for strong and possibly severe storms later on Saturday.

Friday will be a bad hair day as gusty winds continue. Northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin have the best chance of showers, with a passing sprinkle possible elsewhere. We map out this week’s incredible rain totals in southern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, and look ahead to the weekend.

Thursday strong thunderstorms with heavy rain have been weakening. Cool and breezy weather with widely scattered showers on tap for Friday. Then a weekend warmup.

A tornado watch has been issued for areas including south central and southeastern Minnesota until 9:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Periods of rain and thunderstorms will continue across much of Minnesota and western Wisconsin into Thursday evening. Some severe thunderstorms will be possible, especially in southern Minnesota and parts of western Wisconsin.

Periods of rain will continue Thursday and Thursday evening, with heavy rain and flash flooding possible. A few severe thunderstorms are also possible.

More downpours are on the way.
