MINNESOTA, USA — A breezy Tuesday is on tap as a cold front slides through the area today. A few showers will be possible, but expect mainly dry conditions with partly cloudy skies as winds shift out of the northwest this afternoon.
A small area of showers is expected to slide in from northern Minnesota during the late morning hours. A few of these pockets of rain could bring a quick downpour but the rain won't last very long if it does start raining.
The winds will be strong from the north and northwest at 10-20 mph gusting toward 30 mph at times.
The chance for rain on Tuesday will be rather low, but there is a much better chance for widespread beneficial rain for Friday lingering into Saturday, followed by a second round of rain Sunday into Monday.
Looking beyond rain chances this week, temperatures will remain fairly steady with only minor swings in the numbers. You'll want to keep an eye on your outdoor plants Tuesday night as temperatures may drop below freezing once again.
