Check the curb to see if your garbage can is still there and make sure small pets are on a tight leash today.
Gusty winds over 40 mph are buffeting Minnesota today. A wind advisory is posted for southwestern Minnesota. A strong pressure gradient out ahead of a cold front is whipping up a stiff southerly wind.
This system will bring scattered showers and a few thunderstorms to the region for through Wednesday. Northern Minnesota will have the best chance for significant rainfall. It appears most of the severe weather will stay south of us, but there may be an isolated severe storm, especially in northern Minnesota. Large hail will be the primary threat.
Thursday still looks dry. The next system should bring a return to showers Friday, before a dry but cool weekend in the 60's.
This forecast falls in the "could be better, could be worse" category. There are signs of a warm up next week.
Hang in there!
