Highs this week will remain cool, mostly in the 50s.

A strong low-pressure system will bring soaking rainfall to southern Minnesota Thursday into Saturday. The storm track is still a bit in question, but this morning’s GFS and other models keep the storm far enough north to include the Twin Cities area in the significant rainfall zone.
