Meteorologist Chris Reece reports scattered severe storms and a transition to pleasant weather for Minnesota this week.
Minnesota residents can expect a mix of scattered severe storms and pleasant, sunny weather throughout the week. Meteorologist Chris Reece reported that severe storms produced hail as large as tennis balls on Monday evening, with additional thunderstorms possible overnight. While some areas experienced significant rainfall, most of the state saw less than half an inch of total weekly rainfall. Tuesday will see a little cooler temperatures and scattered thunderstorms, but the risk of severe weather decreases. By Wednesday, high pressure will build, bringing abundant sunshine and comfortable temperatures in the upper 70s. The forecast turns pleasant again heading into the weekend, with highs near 80 degrees and lower humidity. Overall, the weather pattern will quiet down significantly by midweek. While localized downpours occurred on Monday, most of the state will experience a relatively dry week with temperatures remaining mild and comfortable.
