Storms weakening overnight, rain continues into early Wednesday morning

A line of storms moved from west to east across Minnesota and Iowa through Tuesday evening with areas of heavy rain and gusty winds. By the time rain wraps up late tonight, parts of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa may receive another 1-2″ of rain with some isolated higher totals.

Occasional showers and a few thunderstorms remain possible through Wednesday, and temperatures will be notably cooler along with lower humidity. Showers and storms will be much weaker than Tuesday’s thunderstorms, and the risk of widespread heavy rain is much lower.

An active weather pattern will persist into the weekend, with showers and thunderstorms remaining likely Thursday through Saturday. If all goes to plan, we should catch a nice break from stormy weather on Sunday and Monday.
