Cooler and quiet in Twin Cities Thursday; stretch of stormy days ahead

The week will wrap up with a cooler, quiet stretch in the Twin Cities before a warmer, stormy turn.

Clouds will increase throughout Thursday in the metro with a weak wave of energy passing by into the evening hours.

This will also throw a few rain/snow showers between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Temperatures will top off close to 50 Thursday afternoon. High pressure brings a beautiful day Friday with sunshine, calm winds and seasonable temps. The metro will start off in the low 30s and climb into the mid-to-upper 50s for highs.

Wet weather arrives this weekend with a wave of low pressure pulling up gulf moisture and some warmth. Showers look to hold until Saturday afternoon, but continue into Sunday morning. Some thunder is possible, but severe chances are low.

Gusts could reach 30 mph both days this weekend. Highs stay in the 50s Saturday, but jump into the 70s Sunday with some afternoon clearing.

Temps stay on the milder side into next week, but more rain chances are in the mix as the unsettled pattern continues.
