Key Points – Tuesday, October 3, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning! In today’s video we discuss the heavy rainfall that fell overnight with localized 3″+ across central Minnesota. A quieter pattern works in for the remainder of the week overall, however, freeze watches/warnings have been hoisted across western Dakota locations Wednesday morning…upper 20s will be possible. This will become more of a theme as we move further along this week (warmer overnight lows expected further east). The next best rain chances come east Friday night into Saturday across parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out, have a blessed day! -Kirk
