NEXT Weather: Big cooldown arrives Wednesday
MINNEAPOLIS -- Thunderstorms that hit the Twin Cities Tuesday morning led to a cooler evening than originally thought - lowering the threat for severe weather significantly Tuesday evening.
Those early storms stabilized the atmosphere by keeping clouds around, and decreasing the fuel for further storms.
The Twin Cities metro is no longer under threat from thunderstorms. There may be some stray showers, but fireworks displays should get the green light.
Some activity in southern Minnesota could delay some fireworks in communities like St. James and Mankato.

Northern Minnesota will see a few thundershowers, but those should die off by late Tuesday evening.
It has been pretty active Tuesday evening in western Wisconsin. There was a reported funnel cloud earlier in the evening in Pierce County, but it didn't materialize into a tornado.
Looking ahead
Temps will fall into the 60s overnight, while northern Minnesota will see 50s and even low 40s early Wednesday.
A big cooldown arrives Wednesday, with dew points dropping into the comfortable range early in the day, and that will hold for the rest of the week.

Wednesday's high will be in the mid-70s, and Thursday will be a little warmer – and it may just end up being a #Top10WxDay.
Highs will be in the low to mid 80s Thursday through early next week, with the next best chance for rain and isolated storms on Saturday.
