NEXT Weather Alert: Wednesday to usher in dramatic temperature drop
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesotans are about to feel a rapid shift from brutal summer heat to fall-like temperatures.
The changemaker is a slow-moving front that's rolling eastward across Minnesota. Temps will drop into the 70s for much of central Minnesota by Tuesday evening, and into the 60s by early Wednesday morning. Wrap-around showers are possible through Wednesday morning in the metro.
A persistent breeze from the northwest and a low cloud deck will keep temps locked in the 60s through most of Wednesday. Temps will then drop into the upper 50s by early Thursday morning.
The rest of the week and weekend look quite nice and quiet, with temps returning to the upper 70s and low 80s — and a possible #Top10WxDay on Friday. There will be a chance for some showers Sunday.
