After a very wet Sunday night we’ll see decreasing clouds Monday. Isolated afternoon thunder is again possible, but more organized storms develop Tuesday.
Substantial rainfall late Sunday into early Monday
Many areas of Minnesota saw plenty of rainfall overnight. The heaviest fell across central Minnesota and a swath south of the Twin Cities. Those areas saw 2 to 4 inches of rainfall. Most Twin Cities metro area amounts ranged from one-half inch to 1 1/2-inches.
Clearing Monday with more storms Tuesday before drying out
Clouds will continue to decrease through the morning Monday with a fair amount of afternoon sunshine. This will help us warm into the low to mid-80s in southern Minnesota.
There could be a couple of thunderstorms that pop up in the afternoon from east-central Minnesota into western Wisconsin.

Tuesday will again be warm with highs in the low to mid-80s ahead of a cold front.
That front and upper level disturbance will help to spark more scattered storms Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Some of those storms Tuesday could be strong to severe. There’s a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for much of eastern Minnesota.
Beyond Tuesday it will be cooler and windy Wednesday into Friday. High temperatures Thursday will be mostly in the 60s to just low 70s.
We’ll also get a nice dry break with just spotty showers north Wednesday but mostly dry Thursday into early next week.
