Aside from northeast Minnesota, most of the area looks good Saturday, and even through a good part of Sunday.  From west to east, storm chances increase late Sunday through Memorial Day.  Temperatures will get warmer this weekend as well.  Total rain next 7 days:

Once we get past week 1, there is some hope to get drier, with most of the area near to slightly drier than normal for week 2.  Compared to our friends south of here, we are in a much better spot.  

Temperatures don’t look bad either for week 2…we actually have western North Dakota going above normal, with the rest of the area generally “normal” temperatures for the start of June.
