Next rainfall is likely Wednesday
Our next weather system on Wednesday looks arm enough for rain. A good soaking is likely across much of Minnesota.
Precipitation deficit continues despite recent rainfall
November has started off wetter than usual, with several weather systems moving through since the Halloween rain and snow event. Despite the much needed rainfall, we continue to see precipitation deficits since early September.
Cool high pressure Monday with freezing temperatures overnight
Chilly high pressure has settled in behind the weekend system. High temperatures will be cooler Monday and Tuesday, but near normal. The next chance of rain develops Wednesday. 
Temperatures cool slightly for Monday with breezy winds
Expect lingering cloud cover into Sunday night, with northwesterly winds picking up. A dry cold front will pass through, causing temperatures to dip slightly on Monday. After that, a pleasant warming trend is expected through the end of the work week.
Showers wrap up early Sunday; sunshine returns on Monday
Cloudy skies and scattered showers will persist into Sunday morning as a low-pressure system tracks from southeastern Minnesota into central Wisconsin. Temperatures will cool briefly to seasonal averages on Monday, followed by a warm-up and breezy winds as the week wraps up.
Rain continues overnight into early Sunday
Rain chances will increase Saturday night into Sunday morning, on the backside of a low pressure system as it moves towards the Great Lakes region. Precipitation amounts of between a tenth and a quarter of an inch are possible.
On and off rain showers through the weekend
Cloudy skies are expected, with intermittent showers and drizzle from this afternoon through Sunday morning. Temperatures will remain at or above seasonal averages.
Sunshine and 50s for Friday; rain chances this weekend
Some rare November sunshine is on tap for our Friday. Temperatures continue to trend above our seasonal average with highs in the 50s expected. Our next weather system will bring some intermittent, light rain showers for the weekend.
Hints of snow emerging on the weather maps
A major November snow system has dumped tremendous snow in Colorado. The same system brings mainly rain to Minnesota this weekend.
