MINNESOTA, USA — Ahead of our Tuesday afternoon cold front, temperatures will warm into the upper half of the 50s; cloudy skies and isolated showers will accompany the front. There could even be a few rumbles of thunder along and east of I-35 extending through western Wisconsin.
The winds will be strong from the north and northwest at 10-20 mph gusting towards 30 at times.
The chance for rain on Tuesday will be rather low, but there is a much better chance for widespread beneficial rain for Friday lingering into Saturday followed by a second round of rain Sunday into Monday.
Looking beyond rain chances this week, temperatures will remain fairly steady with only minor swings in the numbers. You'll want to keep an eye on your outdoor plants Tuesday night as temperatures may drop below freezing once again.
