It stays dry until the weekend, with our next best chance of rain arriving later on Saturday. We could see some wrap-around precipitation on Sunday as well.
Not ideal for the thousands upon thousands of people coming to downtown Minneapolis for Twin Cities Pride and Taylor Swift's concerts – but the rain is badly needed.
