A pleasant start to the day, but changes are brewing across the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Minnesotans woke up to a relatively mild Monday morning on June 15th, 2025, but the National Weather Service (NWS) is predicting a significant shift in weather patterns throughout the day. After a comfortable start, much of the state can expect to see increasing cloud cover and a chance of showers and thunderstorms developing later this afternoon and into the evening.

• Wind: Light and variable winds are reported across most of Minnesota.

Forecast for the Day:

The pleasant morning will be short-lived. The NWS anticipates a significant change in weather conditions throughout the day, primarily due to a low-pressure system moving in from the west.
