\ud83c\udf27\ufe0f Monday under the grip of a cool upper-level low<\/strong><\/p>\n Minnesota<\/strong> is starting the new week<\/strong> under the influence of a persistent upper-level low<\/strong>, keeping skies overcast<\/strong> across much of the state. Lingering showers<\/strong> are expected throughout the day, especially in central and northeastern regions<\/strong>, accompanied by below-average temperatures<\/strong>. Afternoon highs will remain in the mid-60s\u00b0F (around 18\u00b0C)<\/strong>, with a damp, gray feeling in the air. Localized drizzle<\/strong> and occasional light rain bands<\/strong> will continue to rotate through until early evening.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \ud83c\udf24\ufe0f Tuesday: sun returns with warm southern breezes<\/strong><\/p>\n By Tuesday<\/strong>, conditions will shift dramatically. Clear skies<\/strong> will return across most of Minnesota<\/strong>, ushered in by southerly winds<\/strong> and rising temperatures<\/strong>. Expect a notable rebound with highs climbing into the low 80s\u00b0F (27\u00b0C)<\/strong> in the Twin Cities<\/strong> and southern counties<\/strong>. The sunshine<\/strong> will bring temporary relief ahead of a more volatile pattern<\/strong> setting up midweek.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u26c8\ufe0f Wednesday to Friday: thunderstorm threats and heavy rain<\/strong><\/p>\n The weather pattern<\/strong> turns more dynamic and unstable<\/strong> beginning late Wednesday<\/strong>, as multiple waves of energy<\/strong> ride along a developing frontal boundary<\/strong>. The main impacts<\/strong> are forecast from Wednesday night through Friday<\/strong>, with two or more rounds<\/strong> of thunderstorms<\/strong> moving across southern and central Minnesota<\/strong>. These storms are expected to bring:<\/p>\n The metro area<\/strong>, including Minneapolis<\/strong> and St. Paul<\/strong>, may see some hefty downpours<\/strong>, but current models suggest that the greatest storm intensity<\/strong> will stay to the south<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \ud83c\udf24\ufe0f More tranquil conditions into the weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking ahead to the weekend<\/strong>, a more stable atmosphere<\/strong> is expected to return. Saturday<\/strong> and Sunday<\/strong> currently appear dry<\/strong>, with seasonal highs in the upper 70s\u00b0F (around 25\u00b0C)<\/strong> and a mix of sun and clouds<\/strong>. Any lingering moisture will likely stay well south or east of Minnesota<\/strong> by then.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f Climate context<\/strong><\/p>\n While individual weather events<\/strong> like this stormy midweek stretch can’t be solely blamed<\/strong> on climate change<\/strong>, the growing frequency<\/strong> of intense rainfall<\/strong>, fluctuating extremes<\/strong>, and record heat<\/strong> across Minnesota<\/strong> and the globe fit the pattern of a rapidly warming climate<\/strong>. This increase in moisture-rich storm systems<\/strong> is a well-documented consequence of a warmer atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83c\udf27\ufe0f Monday under the grip of a cool upper-level low Minnesota is starting the new week under the influence of a persistent upper-level low, keeping skies overcast across much of the state.
