Warmer Mid Week then Rain again by Friday

Spring 2023 in Twin Cities and rest of Minnesota continues Gloomy and Wet with the exception of 4 days in the Twin Cities topping 80 degrees between April 11 and 14.

Looking into the future the rest of April in Twin Cities and Minnesota will remain Cooler than Average with highs in the 40s to near 60 degrees – average highs last week of April are in the low to mid 60s.  Heading into early May the Unseasonably Cold Air Mass currently over the Midwest will be pushed away and replaced by a Warmer Air Mass around May 3 which will likely push temperatures back into the 60s, 70s and possibly 80s by May 5-8. It is Severe T-Storm Season and it has been rather Calm in Minnesota for Severe T-Storms this Season but pattern could become much more Active and Prone to Stronger T-Storms May 6-8 so important to have those Severe T-Storm Plans in place at home, work and school. 

River Levels will remain at Major Flood Levels on the Crow River at Delano and Rockford and the Mississippi River at St.Paul and Hastings and Saint Croix River at Stillwater.      

Flooding on streams and rivers in Minnesota and Wisconsin will continue this upcoming week.  Additional precipitation this upcoming Friday April 28 in the form of Rain and Snow will add more water to all area Streams and Rivers and Flooding will likely continue on Minnesota and Wisconsin Streams and Rivers into late April and possibly into early May.
