MINNEAPOLIS — After an Election Day featuring widespread showers, Minnesota will start to dry out and warm up on Wednesday.

Temperatures will cool on Wednesday evening, with a chance of some light snow flurries in areas of central Minnesota.

A high-pressure system will move in midweek, leading to drier conditions.

Temperatures will trend above normal towards the end of the week with highs in the 50s and light winds around 5 to 10 mph.

The next chance for precipitation after Tuesday is likely this weekend, with steady light rain across southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, and scattered showers around the Twin Cities.
