Active weather through Saturday, then a break

We’re catching a bit of a break from stormy weather here this Wednesday, but there are still a few, isolated showers out there. Some of us will go without rain until Thursday, when a few showers and thunderstorms are possible.

Any shower and thunderstorm Thursday is going to be weaker, although a few rumbles of thunder aren’t out of the question. Temperatures will remain at or below average Thursday afternoon, in the low to mid-70s.

More thunderstorms are on the way Friday with a couple rounds possible. The first will be early in the morning into the mid-morning. These will bring some areas of heavy rain, mainly to southern Minnesota. Some additional thunderstorm development is possible Friday afternoon.

Storms will develop again Saturday as a front pushes through the region. Some of these storms have the potential to be strong to severe. While there may be a few showers around Saturday morning, the most likely time for stronger storms is in the afternoon to early evening.

All signs point to a break in the action from at least Sunday into Monday. Sunday’s temperatures will remain in the mid-70s followed by a slight warmup from Monday through Wednesday with more summer-like warmth.
