Scattered showers return Tuesday night in the Twin Cities

Badly needed rain will return to the metro and southwestern Minnesota late Tuesday night, lingering into Wednesday.  

Expect rounds of rain Wednesday in the morning and afternoon hours with some possible thunderstorms in the mix. There will be a marginal risk — 1 on a scale of 5 — of severe weather in the metro. Along the Interstate 90 corridor, there's a slight risk — 2 on a scale of 5 — of severe storms.

The metro will dry out Thursday and warm into Friday with highs in the low 70s. There is a slight chance of scattered showers Friday.

Saturday looks dry and nice, but the metro could see more showers on Father's Day.
