Rain and possibly snow mid-week

Monday through late Tuesday is shaping up to be a soggy stretch, with one to one and a half inches of rain possible as we kick off the work week. Warmer temperatures in the 50s will keep the precipitation as rain across most of the state. However, cooler air will filter in behind the system as it moves out late in the week. Northwestern Minnesota could see light snow showers, though more model runs are needed to refine the forecast.
