MINNEAPOLIS — Thursday is the NEXT day for a weather alert due to the chance of severe storms in the afternoon and evening.
A rain shower extending from northern to southern Minnesota will move northeast through the morning and clear the state by 7 a.m.
After that morning activity, it will be very warm and humid, with highs in the mid-80s. A cold front will move through later, bringing a second round of storms to the Twin Cities around 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
There is a small risk of these storms becoming severe. The biggest threats are hail, wind and possibly tornadoes.
As the system eventually moves eastward, Friday will be a day of solace. Expect a sunny day with highs in the low 80s — in fact, it will be pleasant enough to warrant a #Top10WxDay.
Saturday will still be warm, with highs in the low 80s. There could be some showers, but they won’t be too many.
On Sunday the cooler air will arrive, with highs around 21 degrees.
