Another record high is possible on Tuesday, with rain expected until Wednesday

Record highs are possible again for southern Minnesota on Tuesday. Showers will occur in northern Minnesota and spread statewide by Wednesday.

It will be warmer again on Tuesday, rain is on the way, and it could snow on Thursday

Several areas of the state reached or exceeded record temperatures Monday. That's likely to happen again Tuesday in southern Minnesota. If we hit 80 degrees in the Twin Cities, it would be one of the newest 80-degree temperatures on record.

Showers will develop near a cold front in northern Minnesota and slowly move south overnight into Wednesday. Scattered rain showers will expand as an upper level disturbance boosts the overall atmospheric situation.

Precipitation appears to be heaviest in southeastern Minnesota and the north coast into western Wisconsin.

It still appears possible that southwestern Minnesota in the Twin Cities will become “dry” from this system as drier air is sucked in on the southwest side of the low. This could limit rainfall in the Twin Cities area.

Some areas could even see snow Wednesday night into Thursday as enough cold air moves into the back edge of the system.

Most of the showers are expected to stop for trick-or-treaters by Thursday evening, but it will be cool with near-normal temperatures.

Another round of rain is possible this weekend as another system moves into the region. This could be a prolonged event with showers possible from Saturday to Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The precipitation outlook for six to 10 days is for a chance of above-average precipitation.
