It’s a springy week around Minnesota. Tuesday afternoon has graced us with a beautiful spring blue sky in southern Minnesota. Scattered rain and cooler temperatures persist in the north.
Wednesday looks to have that magic and recently rare combinations of warmer April sun, light winds, and temperatures close to 70 degrees in the south.
Next rain Thursday
Our next in a series of spring rain systems arrives Thursday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s FV3 model tracks the rain spreading across much of Minnesota Thursday. The forecast model loop below runs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday.
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts model cranks out another soaker from the Twin Cities southward with Thursday’s system. More rain will fall on the lingering drought zone in southeastern Minnesota and Iowa.
Thursday’s drought monitor update should show some improvement in the south.
