Rain tonight, then storms return Wednesday – Chris

Good Monday evening! It’s a cold, wet, and gloomy start to the week across Minnesota, with showers continuing tonight and temperatures falling into the mid-40s. Tuesday stays mostly cloudy and seasonably cool. A few showers may linger early, but much of the day looks quieter with highs in the low 60s. Then our attention quickly turns to Wednesday. Wednesday will be noticeably warmer, with highs climbing into the upper 60s, but that warmth will help set the stage for thunderstorms developing during the afternoon and evening. Rain chances are around 70%, making this the main weather impact to watch over the next few days. If you have Wednesday afternoon or evening plans, keep the forecast close. The timing could overlap with the evening commute, practices, and other outdoor activities. Behind that system, Thursday looks much quieter with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 60s. Friday starts another transition, with clouds increasing ahead of a wetter weekend pa
