St. Paul, MN — Residents across Minnesota can expect one last day of pleasant weather before conditions shift, bringing showers and storms midweek. The National Weather Service Twin Cities reports that Tuesday will remain mostly sunny with temperatures reaching a high of around 80°F. However, by Wednesday afternoon, rain is expected to move into the region, particularly in western Minnesota, where precipitation could start earlier in the day.

According to the National Weather Service, there is a 70% chance of rain on Wednesday, with increasing clouds and showers expected to continue into the evening. Highs on Wednesday are forecasted to be between 75-80°F. The rainy weather will persist into Thursday, with a 60-80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, accompanied by cooler temperatures ranging from 70-75°F.

By Friday, the storm system should begin to move out of the area, but there remains a slight chance (20%) of lingering thunderstorms in eastern Minnesota. Temperatures are expected to reach around 75°F. The weekend promises a return to sunnier skies and warmer conditions, with highs projected to be in the low 80s.

Residents are advised to keep an umbrella handy for the next few days as Minnesota experiences a shift in weather patterns. The showers should provide some relief from the summer heat, but the cooler, wet conditions might be a temporary inconvenience for outdoor plans.
