Scattered showers and thunderstorms return late Wednesday into early Thursday. A few stronger storms are possible.
Blast of fall-like air will send high temperatures into the 60s by late week. Temperatures are forecast to rebound early next week.
Happy as 'meteorological' Fall! The official start of fall does not happen until September 22nd, but for weather record-keeping September 1st is our clean start to a new season of data. (And date of another year around the sun for Monarch's Kathryn!)
The week will get interesting by midweek, with strong thunderstorms possible by Wednesday night into Thursday. Most of the storms may stay north of the local area, but some storms capable of gusty winds and small hail could still come relatively close to Zumbrota.
Behind these storms will be a blast of fall-like air, any 30-degree temperatures should stay well north of Zumbrota so not concerned about frost or freeze conditions just yet. But don't break out the Pumpkin Spice lattes yet as warmer temperatures make a comeback by early next week.
