Overview

• Widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms through Thursday could deliver more than two inches of precipitation in spots, helping to push June totals closer to the 4.25-4.5-inch average.
• A slight severe-weather risk accompanies the system, with southern Minnesota facing potential large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.
• Daytime highs will remain below average midweek, reaching the 60s Wednesday and the low 70s Thursday.
• Friday will bring dry skies before a hot, humid weekend with highs in the low 90s Saturday and scattered storms possible Sunday.
• The extra moisture offers a boon for farmers and grass-seed growers after the Twin Cities recorded just 2.3 inches of rain so far in June.
