KEY MESSAGES
- Other than a few light rain showers tonight into Saturday, mostly dry conditions and near to slightly above average temperatures through the next seven days.
UPDATE
Issued at 633 AM CDT Sat Oct 3 2026
Isolated to scattered showers continue across parts of northwest Minnesota this morning. Rain chances continue through around midday before skies become partly to mostly sunny this afternoon. Winds this morning are out of the southeast, which will shift to the northwest this afternoon.
..Light rain tonight/tomorrow then dry and somewhat warmer
Most of the high resolution models bring two rounds of light rain, the first late this afternoon and tonight with the warm air advection and weak lead shortwave, and the second round with the stronger shortwave and surface trough axis. Regional radar and surface obs show some of the CAMs are already overdoing the first round, so not expecting much more than a few sprinkles at best. Better chances for some light rain later tonight into tomorrow. Probabilities of at least some measurable precipitation are high along and north of Highway 200, and there is even some 30 to 40 percent chances of seeing more than a quarter of an inch in northwestern MN. Probabilities for measurable rain drop off quite a bit after tomorrow. There is over 70 percent probability of 36 degrees or less in portions of our northern counties as well as our cold spots Monday morning. However, warming trend after that with temps returning to slightly above average values. There is even some low (20 percent) chances for far southeastern ND to see 80 degrees, although that looks like a bit of an outlier.
