MINNEAPOLIS -- After widespread showers and thunderstorms visited northern Minnesota Tuesday, some parts of southern Minnesota will get some much-needed Wednesday.
There will be chances of scattered showers and storms Wednesday afternoon. The high in the metro will be 83, which is near average. Expect highs in the low 80s for the rest of the week.
The northern half of Minnesota is still under an air quality alert until noon on Wednesday.

The next best chance of a soaking rain is late Thursday night into Friday morning. Severe weather is not expected.
We could see some isolated showers and storms Friday, when dew points will climb again.
Saturday looks great, but we could be dodging showers on Sunday.
