Next Weather: Rain early Friday, dry weekend

MINNEAPOLIS – The Next Weather Tower is shining green, with good rain on the way Friday – and it could be a soaker for the morning commute.

This is great news for our drought conditions, but it will slow the drive into work. The heaviest rain falls early. Expect a cooler-yet-humid day Friday, with highs in the 70s.

We saw a slight improvement in the Dry and Moderate drought categories. But we saw a small growth in the Severe drought areas. Our Next best chance of needed rain arrives tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/olaE3xIc5S

It will warm to the low 80s this weekend, which is below average, and we’ll stay dry. It will still be a bit humid.

Some scattered showers are possible on Monday. The week looks to stick around the average for highs and lows.
