Minnesota has been very dry so far this May, leading to fire concerns and burning restrictions.  A shift in the weather pattern finally brings needed soaking rain back into the forecast by Wednesday.

A broad shift in the weather pattern brings warmer air across Minnesota and much higher precipitation chances as the week progresses.

After morning fog lifts, Minnesota can expect mostly sunny weather with above average temperatures for Monday.

If you’re still hoping for rain, hang in there. Periods of rain are expected in many areas Wednesday through Friday. We’ll also see summery dew points later this week.

We have above-normal temps in the forecast this week, and many areas will also get some much-needed rain.

Temps will be above normal again today. We have the details, plus who may see some rain.

Most of us will have quiet weather on Sunday, as temps continue to creep upward. We have details on who may see a Sunday shower and a look at the week ahead.

Minnesota fishing opener weather is nice in most areas. Some spots could see spotty showers this afternoon and evening, even an isolated t-storm. We have details on that, plus a look at Sunday and the week ahead.

It still looks like most of western Minnesota will have a dry Saturday. Spotty showers are possible at times in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Saturday’s fishing opener runs cloudy, but bright sun and warmer weather arrive starting Sunday.
