NEXT Weather: 6 p.m. report for Minnesota on April 23, 2025

Rain will move in late Wednesday night and become more widespread Thursday afternoon and evening, especially from the Twin Cities east.

Friday looks to be cooler, breezy and dry. The sun returns Saturday as the warm-up begins, with highs in the mid-60s. Sunday will be similar temperature-wise, but could bring some showers.

By Monday, we'll be flirting with the mid to upper 70s.

A stronger system arrives early next week — thunderstorms are likely Monday, and WCCO's NEXT Weather team is already watching for signs of possible severe weather.
