The best storms always brew up along a line of sharp temperature differences. We'll have such a line today as parts of our region reach the 60s, other parts the 70s and some parts the 80s. These temperature clashes will egg on a low-pressure system that will give us a 60 percent chance for showers and storms.
If that chance pays off, rain totals could run from a half-inch to an inch. Our sky conditions should be mostly cloudy to partly sunny.
Highs north of Duluth will be in the mid-60s. Duluth, east central Minnesota and the South Shore in Wisconsin will hit the mid- to upper 70s. Hayward may reach the upper 80s. That will be chilly compared to the Twin Cities, which might make it to 98.
The rain chance will devolve to a 30 percent chance of showers Tuesday.
