Severe thunderstorms move out of central, southern Minnesota

A severe thunderstorm watch for the Twin Cities as well as central and southern Minnesota has expired Thursday evening as skies clear out overnight.

Winds calm a bit Friday as a small nose of high pressure nudges in. It will feel cooler, but still not bad in the low 60s.

Clouds increase again for the weekend, but most will stay dry aside from a stray shower late Saturday into Sunday with a piece of upper-level energy. Temps stay in the 60s for highs both days.

Monday brings the metro's next chance for a soaking storm with widespread rain, keeping temps in the 50s. That exits and lifts north Tuesday with some models hinting at some snow mixing in across northern Minnesota.

Drying conditions are expected for the rest of the week for the metro and southern Minnesota with temps staying more seasonable in the 50.
