Drier, calmer end to week in Minnesota before spotty storms return this weekend
A cool, fall-like start to Friday will turn into a pleasant, low-to-mid-70s evening with sunshine.
First of several weekend rounds of storms will develop in the Dakotas on Friday evening, moving eastward into Minnesota overnight, bringing the threat of isolated large hail and possibly a few strong wind gusts.
Early rain or thunderstorms are possible in the Twin Cities on Saturday before transitioning into sunnier, hot and humid conditions. It will feel like 90-plus degrees.
A second round of weekend storms are likely to develop late in the afternoon and early evening hours in western Minnesota, and move through during the mid-to-late evening.
All threats are in play here, including possible tornado spin-ups and localized flash flooding.
Sunday will be mostly dry, but also hot and humid — leading to a third round of storms during the midday.
Timing and location are uncertain this far out, but they look to become more widespread toward the latter half of the Twin Cities Pride Parade in Minneapolis through the afternoon.
Severe weather is less likely with this round, however flash flooding is possible.
Monday and Tuesday look dry with high pressure and seasonable highs in the mid 80s and lower humidity.
Minnesota will deal with another active pattern in the middle and end of next week, with more storm chances.
