Drier, Sunnier Thursday Before Storms Friday And Saturday
We will see a drier and sunnier day in the metro Thursday behind the rain that fell on Wednesday. The dry weather doesn't last long, though, with more showers and storms Friday into Saturday along with the first 70F of 2022. - D.J. Kayser

Mother Nature Is Distracting Us
A quarter inch of rain or more will water your lawn today. A Colorado storm tracking into the Dakotas will pull 70-degree warmth into town Saturday, along with a few heavy T-storms and "humidity". You remember humidity, right? Sunday looks windswept but drier, with highs near 50F. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A Very Character-Building Spring
The sun reappears today with another surge of rain on Wednesday. Temperatures moderate as the week goes on with 50s by Thursday and Friday, and if the sun comes out: 70 possible Saturday with a dash of humidity and rumble of thunder. You know, "spring like"? Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Spring is Malfunctioning
A clipper turns on our malfunctioning wind machine again today with gusts over 30 mph. Rain arrives Wednesday and a surge of southern warmth and moisture may ignite a few thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday; the milder day of the weekend.

Jacket-worthy Weather Into Early Next Week
Cool sunshine today gives way to an Easter Sunday coating of slush, mainly at night. A chilling start next week ends with a May-like finish: in one week we may bein the 70s with T-storms. 40 degrees in 4 days? I should be serving Dramamine with my 7-Day. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Whispers of 2018 - Real Warm Front a Week Away
Will it warm up? Yes, by the end of next week. Will it stick this time? Your guess is as good as mine. I think we will be done with 30s for highs, but more cold fronts are inevitable. That said, I do see a pattern shift as the coldest air finally retreats north into Canada. 70s? A good chance within 7-8 days.

An Afternoon Storm Possible Monday - Mid-Week Plethora Of Weather
A few scattered showers or thunderstorms will roam across the state Monday afternoon, but a larger storm (once again) looms for the middle/end of the week. This time we could see some strong storms with our slow-moving system. - D.J. Kayser

Another Week With More Rain In The Forecast

A Minnesota Spring Is An Acquired Taste
Rain mixes with wet snow and spills into Thursday. Tomorrow will look and feel like something out of late February. Friday looks like the better day with some sunshine, 40s and less wind. Not exactly springy... but better. I'm all-in on better weather. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Spring Has Lost Its Bounce
A cold rain today mixes with wet snow Wednesday before slowly tapering Thursday. This may be one of the colder Twins Home Openers on record with sprinkles, flurries, gusty winds and upper 30s, with a faint whiff of wind chill at Target Field. Prince would approve. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Cool, wet week but spring fever in sight
Today looks dry and quiet, but a major storm soaks us with rain Tuesday into Wednesday. The hot cocoa concession at Target Field will be doing a brisk business Thursday, with morning puddles and flakes giving way to brightening skies and dry weather by late afternoon. Take your heavy-duty Twins jacket with "highs" in the low 40s. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Stumbling Into Spring - Few 50 Degree Days Coming
We don't get hurricanes! And it's much too chilly for tornadoes. That's a good start huh? It's getting harder and harder to put a positive spin on the weather. Like everyone else I'm sick of my boots and heavy jackets. I'd like to turn the seat warmer off now OK? Hellooooooo.....?

Rain - Ice - Snow On Tap This Week
A big southern storm sparks a cold rain Tuesday, ending as wet snow Wednesday. Not much slush in the metro but Duluth and northern Minnesota may pick up a cool 3-6" or more. Isn't March fun? Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
