Scattered showers, storms possible through Wednesday evening

Scattered showers and storms will remain possible through the evening across much of southeastern Minnesota, including parts of the Twin Cities metro area.

The main threats from the storms are dangerous lightning, strong winds, hail and heavy rainfall.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was under a brief ground stop Wednesday afternoon due to the storms.

Aside from the rain, temperatures will be below average. A few showers may linger into Thursday as cooler air settles into the region. Highs will stay below normal in the 60s and 70s.

Conditions will improve over the weekend with more sunshine and a gradual warming trend, though there could be some passing showers on Sunday. Highs will return to the upper 70s heading into next week.
