This system has been with us since late last week (Friday to be exact) and it continues to impact the Northland today, but the mid to upper-level low has moved from western Minnesota to southern Minnesota between Sunday afternoon and this afternoon, and on Tuesday will watch this low drop down into eastern Iowa and far enough away from the Northland which will end our rain chances.
Goes-16 water vapor loop from Monday, September 25, 2023 (loop time ends 4:01 PM CT)
The last of the rains hitting eastern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin this afternoon should come to an end before Midnight tonight, and then we’re looking at a couple of dry days, although an isolated shower still can’t completely be ruled out Tuesday or Wednesday, but most of us should stay dry.
