Wednesday brings lots of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. More showers and thunderstorms develop Thursday into Friday with locally heavy rainfall possible. 

A warm and gorgeous Wednesday but more rain is coming 

Wednesday will be the nicest day for the rest of this week likely. It will be the only day with totally dry weather and abundant sunshine. Temperatures will range from the mid 80s south to the upper 70s north. Those readings are right in line with normal, if not a couple degrees above normal.

Clouds will stay at bay most of Wednesday night with lows ranging from the mid 50s north to the mid 60s south.

Unfortunately the weather doesn’t look fantastic for the Fourth of July holiday. Clouds will increase with showers and thunderstorms developing from southwest to east. The wettest weather should remain in southern Minnesota most of the day but much of central Minnesota into western Wisconsin will get storms Thursday night into Friday.

There is once again the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Most of southern Minnesota can expect 1 to 3 inches of rainfall into Friday with locally higher amounts.

The weekend offers more spotty or isolated chances with less organized activity and low potential at heavy rain.
