Minnesota gets brief break for storms on Wednesday

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota will get a break from the rain on Wednesday, but the quiet weather won't last long.

The forecast high in the Twin Cities is 79 degrees. It will be partly cloudy and humid, with a northeast wind blowing around 5-10 mph. 

Thursday will be even more humid with highs in the lower 80s. There's another chance for storms, which are timed to arrive in the metro by the late afternoon and early evening. There's a marginal risk of severe weather (2 on a scale of 5).

We then turn to a beautiful stretch of weather for Labor Day weekend. The sunshine returns in full force and we are sitting pretty. Highs will be in the upper 70s on Friday, lower 80s on Saturday and lower-to-mid 70s on Sunday and Monday.

We then may have a four-to-five-day stretch of dry and sunny days.
