Favre comes on a nice day... not so nice the next few

On a day that has been covered with Brett Farve/Vikings coverage, we can not forget about the wonderful weather that he had to fly up to Eden Prairie in! Farve has just signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings, a reported 2 year deal worth $25 million. Let's hope this means it is going to be a good season for the Vikings. But now on to weather after this:

Again, Farve had a brilliant day weatherwise to come up to Minnesota and becoming a Viking. With highs topping out in the mid to upper 70s with mainly sunny skies, a picture perfect summer day, at least in my opinion. Sure, it could be a little warmer for summer, but you got to enjoy the weather, enjoy the season!

Starting as soon as overnight tonight, a chance of showers and storms moves in with a slow moving system, better odds of rain come with it Wednesday afternoon and night. The severe weather chance we had been talking about has shifted more southward into Iowa and Missouri, but there is a chance of an isolated strong/severe storm with large hail and damaging winds as the front moves through.

More showers and storms possible Thursday in the cold air (highs won't make it out of the 60s), and it will be very blustery out.

Some leftovers may be still here on Friday, and we hope we can push everything out and end up with a fairly nice weekend with highs around 80 and mainly sunny skies.
