Sunshine returns to Twin Cities on warmer Tuesday

Sunshine returns to the Twin Cities Tuesday with breezy northwest winds early, then a quieter afternoon. 

Highs will be near 70 degrees, which is a few degrees warmer than Monday, but that's still below average.

Wednesday will top out in the low 70s with a few evening showers possible, mainly south of the metro.

Thursday will be dry and a little warmer with highs in the mid 70s.

Widespread rain is increasingly likely for Friday, with a chance for a much-needed soaking. The heaviest rain placement is still uncertain. Highs will drop into the upper 60s.

The weekend looks to be drier and cooler, with a few showers possible Sunday and highs around 70.
