The northern third of Minnesota will be under a Winter Storm Watch from Saturday night into Sunday night.

A Wind Advisory will be in effect from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Tuesday for western Minnesota where winds could gust as high as 40-45 mph.

Widespread rain will push across the region Wednesday.

A few showers are possible Thursday across Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota, but a parade of three larger systems are expected over the next week.

Portions of central and south-central Minnesota received 1.5 to 3 inches of rain.

A chilly night is on tap Tuesday night, with frosty conditions expected. A Frost Advisory has been issued for much of the Northland.

A line of showers and thunderstorms moving across the area will bring much-needed rainfall, with most areas seeing around an inch.

As a cold front approaches from the west Thursday afternoon, showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of the front in western Minnesota then gradually push east through the afternoon and evening.

We had well over an inch of rain in St. Cloud Monday night.

Here's an interesting tidbit for your Thursday morning, The National Weather Service has issued the fewest number of Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings in 21 years, so far this year (since 2000).
