Rain on the way
Rain showers will spread northeast across Minnesota Wednesday night and continue in scattered fashion on Thursday. So not an all-day rain.
Ending as snow?
Cooler air sliding in behind the low pressure is likely to change lingering light rain over to wet snow on Friday in northern and central Minnesota. Minor accumulations of up to a couple inches are possible in northern Minnesota before it ends Friday night.
Turning sharply cooler
Much cooler air will begin to arrive on Friday with steady or slowly falling temperatures.
Weekend high temperatures across Minnesota are likely to be mainly 20s north and 30s south. That’s still warmer than normal for February.
