NEXT Weather Alert: Rain, heavy wind to last until Saturday
MINNEAPOLIS — Rain will arrive late Thursday afternoon or early in the evening in the Twin Cities, and it will linger through Friday — which will be a NEXT Weather Alert day.
It will be moving in slowly, and the north metro will be the last to see it.
It will fall heavily at times, off and on, through Friday, with 2-3 inches expected in the metro. There will be some rumbles, but no severe weather. It's expected to last until Saturday morning.
Wind will be another big factor, with regular gusts over 35 mph through Friday.
Temperatures will be in the 50s Thursday, but in the 40s all day Friday.
The sun will peek out by Sunday, but not on Saturday — which means we won't be able to see the partial solar eclipse.
Next week looks seasonable, with highs in the upper 50s, which is still below average for this time of year. The next chance of rain will be Wednesday or Thursday.
