We could be in for some more rainfall Sunday evening into the overnight:
We need a lot of rain to make up our summer deficit in the Twin Cities (we're running 6" behind summer to date!), but we'll take what we can. The 0.57" that fell at MSP on Saturday was the biggest rain since May 25th - that's pretty sad.
Another round of moisture is headed our way though for late Sunday evening into the overnight.
Most of us will see about 0.10" to 0.60" in the Twin Cities area but southeast Minnesota could see more into Wisconsin.
Here's a forecast radar with timing for the evening/overnight.
It will all be out by early Monday morning, setting us up for a gorgeous stretch of days. Monday will be on the cooler side of normal with high temperatures mainly in the 70s statewide!
Beyond Monday, the week will be dry. The next chance of rain comes in Friday or Saturday. The models differ on the timing of the next disturbance so there's definite uncertainty on that timing.
We may not hit 90 this week even... but all of these temps from Tuesday onward are above normal (which is 82, 81 by the end of the week). The consistently above normal trend continues this summer. In the longer term this looks to continue:
Plotted above is the forecast (average of the models in blue) compared to the normal highs (orange).
It appears very likely August will end up anywhere from about 1.5 to 3.5 degrees above normal, which is enough to keep this summer of 2022 solidly in the top 10 hottest summers.
