Tuesday’s forecast

It’s fairly quiet and clear to start Tuesday, but cloud coverage increases throughout the day, making for fairly overcast conditions. Expect hazy skies again due to wildfire smoke sticking around in the atmosphere.

Tuesday will stay dry in the metro, but western Minnesota could get scattered showers in the afternoon and early evening. As the system pushes east, the Twin Cities could see a sprinkle sometime after sunset.
