NEXT Weather: Tuesday should remain pleasant, but rain chances move in after

MINNEAPOLIS — Monday was a lovely fall day, featuring near-average highs and dominant sunshine. That should hold into Tuesday.

The Twin Cities' high reached the upper 50s, with winds coming from the northwest at speeds between 5-10 mph.  

On Tuesday, southerly winds will toss some warmer air in our direction, and highs will return to the low 60s, according to WCCO meteorologist Chris Shaffer.

Wednesday will likely be warmer, too, with rain moving in from the evening hours through Thursday night. Most will see less than a tenth of an inch of accumulation.

"The better rain chance will be up north, but even there it doesn't look like much.  We could see a few rounds of scattered showers roll through the metro," Shaffer said.

Highs will be in the lower-to-mid 50s and lows will be in the 40s through the weekend. It will be a bit breezy Thursday into the weekend as we dry out.
