Key Points: June 7, 2017
Synopsis: Good Wednesday morning! A weak disturbance continues to move through the region this morning with spotty showers mainly across Minnesota. Overall, the big story will be the heat coming on strong over the weekend into early next week as a ridge of high pressure settles over the region. The best chance for precipitation through early next week will be found across northern areas.Toward the middle of next week, a storm system will push through the region brining a more widespread threat for rain, but timing and intensity remain to be seen. Have a blessed day!
