A band of showers slowly lifts northeastward through the region today. So slow, in fact, that many areas east of the Mississippi River may not see showers until after sunset. These showers becomes more widespread overnight into Monday, producing widespread rainfall amounts of 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, with localized pockets of 1-2 inches if bands of storms line up just right. Hotter conditions arrive for Tuesday and Wednesday as afternoon heat indices climb to 95-105 degrees. These have come down from earlier forecasts owing to the increasing risk for storms. The risk for showers and storms linger for the rest of the week, which will have the benefit of keeping temperatures cooler.
The Minnesota Pollution Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for increased ozone levels primarily affecting sensitive groups through this evening.
