Tuesday Afternoon Cold Rain Soaks Southern Minnesota, Slows Twin Cities Commute
A midweek warm front will briefly push temperatures into the 70s.
Overview
- Widespread light to steady rain moved across southern Minnesota Tuesday afternoon with heavier pockets over the Twin Cities.
- Temperatures held in the upper 40s to low 50s under the rain-cooled air.
- Heavier bursts timed to school pickup and the evening drive slowed travel, and umbrellas were advised.
- Most of Wednesday is expected to be dry under cloudy skies with highs staying in the 50s.
- A warm front lifting north late Wednesday night could bring a few early Thursday rumbles of thunder and lingering morning rain, followed by a brief warmup into the low to mid 70s Thursday and Friday before a quick Friday front delivers a short burst of rain and a cooler weekend with higher shower chances in northern Minnesota.
