Weather Blog: A Break From The Soaking

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minneapolis picked up 1.35 inches of rain over the past few days.

Even after a soaking like that, we are still nearly a half-inch below average for the month in the rainfall department.

We will be dry Thursday and the sunshine should warm us up to a near average high of 80 degrees.

I think we are dry much of Friday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms moving in later in the day. Those showers will spill over into Saturday morning, and we will remain fairly unsettled throughout the weekend.

I think the next best shot of rain comes late Sunday into Monday.
