Areas of drought continue to grow in Minnesota. Portions of the state are now in extreme drought. We’ll be temporarily cooler Thursday but hot, dry weather builds for next week.
Smoke remains present in the skies Tuesday, creating air quality concerns. We’ll have more spotty showers and thunder possible Tuesday ahead of cooler, drier air moving in for Wednesday.
An air quality alert is in effect Tuesday for much of southern Minnesota. Tuesday will be very warm with widespread temps in the 80s. Spotty afternoon thunder develops in northern Minnesota along a cool front.
Rain, ice and snow continue to rotate around our slow moving storm system Thursday. Snow accumulations will be confined to the northern half of Minnesota with mainly rain showers south. More snow showers, mixed with rain, south will persist into Friday.
