The Brief

    • Expect another warm day on Wednesday with a high of 86 degrees in the Twin Cities metro.

    • Cooler temperatures are right around the corner, just in time for the first day of Fall. 

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Wednesday brings another summer-like day, with warm temperatures and a few rounds of showers continuing into Thursday.

Wednesday forecast

Expect another warm and humid day on Wednesday, with temperatures reaching the mid-80s and winds ranging from 10 to 20 mph. The day will start with a mix of sun and clouds, but skies will become mostly cloudy later in the day.

Rain chances return as multiple rounds of showers are expected between Wednesday and Thursday. The first wave will likely arrive in western Minnesota on Wednesday afternoon and move east.
