Jonathan Yuhas reports that heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected to move across Minnesota on Friday morning, providing much-needed moisture to the region. While Thursday will remain warm and muggy with highs reaching the upper 80s to 90 degrees, scattered showers and storms will develop in western Minnesota on Thursday afternoon. These storms will spread east overnight, potentially producing heavy downpours and patchy fog during the Friday morning commute. Rainfall amounts will vary significantly across the state. Areas southwest of the Twin Cities and the Minnesota River Valley are expected to receive the most significant rainfall, with some locations seeing 2 to 4 inches. Conversely, a line of heavy rain is expected to move through southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa, with amounts ranging from 1 to 3 inches. The weather system will clear out by the weekend, making way for more comfortable, lower-humidity conditions with highs in the 80s.
