The latest KSTP weather forecast emphasizes that the rain isn’t the only challenge Minnesota faces. Wind gusts reaching up to 35 mph brought an extra chill, making temperatures in the mid-40s feel more like the mid-30s. Meteorologist Matt Serwe notes that while scattered rain continues through Wednesday, there should be moments of dry weather mixed in by late afternoon and evening.
Rainfall totals along and south of I-94 are expected to range from 1.5 to 3 inches, potentially causing slowdowns during commutes. Thankfully, the sun is forecast to return by Thursday and Friday, bringing highs back into the 60s. Memorial Day Weekend is also looking warmer and drier, offering relief after the continued rain.
While rain is dominating the Twin Cities forecast, other parts of Minnesota are experiencing a different kind of weather emergency. CBS Minnesota’s latest weather video update highlights that a red flag warning remains in effect up north due to wildfire risk.
