Minnesota weather: Finally some rain!
After an extremely dry stretch, the Twin Cities metro is finally getting some rain.
(FOX 9) - Fall colors are fading fast and rain likely won't help anyone trying to take in the fall foliage for one last time this weekend in Minnesota.
What to know
With most of the state past peak for fall colors, you will need to head south for the best foliage viewing.
The Minnesota DNR's fall color map shows a pocket southwest of the metro that hasn't hit full peak. But the window is closing fast there too.
FOX 9's Ian Leonard says the best spots for leaf peeping this weekend will be in that pocket, near the Mankato area. He says the rain on Thursday will end up knocking down more leaves in the metro.
Fall color forecast
The DNR's forecast puts the entire state past peak before Halloween. The "pocket" near Mankato will also begin to fade headed into the weekend.
