MN weather: Falling temps, showers later Wednesday
It's a warm start Wednesday morning with temperatures in the 70s, but temperatures continue to drop into the 50s.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - After a warm Wednesday morning in the Twin Cities, temperatures will fall into the 50s, with a chance for rain later in the day.
Wednesday forecast
Wednesday morning starts off very warm in the Twin Cities metro with temperatures in the mid-70s, but that warmth won’t last. Temperatures will continue to drop throughout the day, reaching the upper 50s by the afternoon, and the low 50s by the evening.
Most of the day Wednesday will remain dry with cloudy skies and northerly winds at 5-15 mph. By mid to late afternoon, scattered showers and rumbles will develop in southeastern Minnesota. Showers may reach the Twin Cities before widespread rain arrives overnight.
Rain and snow on the way
Overnight, a system will push in from the south and southwest, starting as rain before shifting to a rain-snow mix early Thursday morning. Areas around the metro could get some slushy accumulation, while northern Minnesota may see a couple inches of snow accumulation.
The rain and snow will taper off by the evening for a dry but cool Halloween with temperatures in the lower 40s. Temperatures return closer to seasonable first day of November before heating back up into the 60s for the weekend.
