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.
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.
Minnesota drought conditions improve
Minnesota's drought conditions are showing signs of improvement. Recent rounds of rainfall have helped alleviate some of the dryness, with a few areas seeing a reduction in drought severity.
