Chance for few showers and storms nearly daily, but expect mostly dry skies each day

Good evening! You’ve probably already noticed that the current 7-day forecast has a handful of chances for rain and storms. You may have also noticed that the timing and coverage of storms has also shifted a bit each day this week. This is due to an overall weather pattern that favors the fast progression of fronts, and storm systems. As the timing of systems impacting us in a given day and subsequent day changes, so does much of the timing of weather-making features farther out in the 7-day.

So, while I have confidence in the general chances for shower and storms each day, given such an active pattern, you’ll need to check back with the forecast more often than usual.

Tonight we’re looking at partly cloudy skies and the slight chance for scattered showers into early tomorrow morning. Most of tomorrow is dry, but we do have the chance for isolated late afternoon and evening storms as well (especially across southern Minnesota, but again this too is a slight chance).

Most of your weekend forecast and Monday are dry. However, as it typical of the last week, we still have the chance for storms and shower, mainly Saturday PM, Sunday late afternoon and night, as well as Monday late PM into the overnight hours.

The best chance for more widespread rainfall and storms looks to be next Tuesday.

With temperatures in the 80s tomorrow and Saturday, as well as just shy of 80 degrees Sunday and Monday, we could end up seeing isolated strong to severe storms at times. So please stay up to date with the forecast!

Have a wonderful night!
