Heavy rain and flooding threat late Thursday into Saturday

Here’s your Wednesday evening forecast for June 19, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

Good evening! Tonight is a quiet night with comfortable temperatures in the mid to upper-50s across most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Minneapolis and St. Paul stay a bit warmer with lows in the low-60s. Light and scattered rain showers are possible past midnight into Thursday morning. Rain becomes steadier into Thursday afternoon with a few non-severe storms possible afternoon and evening as well. Rain will be heavy at times overnight Thursday, Friday and Friday night into Saturday with scattered showers and storms likely.

Another 2 to 4 inches of rain is possible across Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin Thursday through Saturday. Heavy rain could quickly lead to flash flooding, and rivers will continue to rise through the start of next week. Rain tapers off late Saturday with a mostly dry Sunday forecast.

Have a wonderful night!
