MINNESOTA, USA — Rain showers continue across much of the region this early evening. As this surface low pressure system shift to our east, we'll see the rain taper from southwest to northeast soon after sundown.
Metro locations are going to pick up between 0.25-0.3" total, with significantly less further west. It's much needed rain, but we need quite a bit more to put a dent in our current drought situation. Some parts of the state have seen less than a half inch since September 1st.
Tomorrow begins a short dry stint that will last at least through Friday. Patchy fog develops early Wednesday morning, with more clouds than sun the rest of the day. Temps will rebound to near 50, and we should be at least that warm through your extended forecast.
We're tracking a slow-moving weather system set to move in this weekend. This could bring widely scattered showers moving in from the south beginning Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning, but rainfall amounts should be light.
We'll learn more about this system in the coming days.
