Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
340 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

.DISCUSSION....Westerly winds will increase later this morning,
with sustained winds around 20 mph and peak gusts near 35 mph
expected by the afternoon. RH values will bottom out around 40
percent this afternoon. Scattered snow showers are expected during
the afternoon as well, mainly near and north of the Minnesota River,
but some fire weather risk exists with the breezy winds and
relatively low RH values. Clearing skies are expected over the
weekend with warmer temperatures and slightly lower wind speeds.
However, minimum RH values will drop to near 30 percent on Saturday
and to between 20-30 percent on Sunday. Next chance for widespread
rainfall comes Monday into Tuesday.
