Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Shorewood, MN

DISCUSSION
Issued at 313 PM CDT Thu May 22 2025

It has been a beautiful Spring day with mostly sunny skies, light winds, and highs warming into the 60s across much of the region. We'll see another night of potential for frost in some of the far northern portions of a few counties (primarily Morrison, Mille Lacs & Kanabec in central MN, and eastern Rusk in WI). It is not expected be widespread, but any low-lying areas prone to cooler temperatures would be more at risk.

Many locations saw around 2 to 4 inches of rainfall from Monday morning all the way through Thursday morning. To put that into perspective, the normal monthly precipitation totals at MSP, Eau Claire, and St Cloud are 3.91", 3.91", and 3.66" respectively.
Yes, that is not a typo - MSP and EAU are the same! It is likely a good thing that we received that much rain given how dry the forecast looks through the end of May. The latest WPC 7 Day QPF shows a minimum right over much of MN and western WI, with most areas struggling to see anything over 0.01". It seems that the only chance of showers would come via a shortwave this weekend or early next week, with Tuesday now having the greatest PoPs around 25 to 35 percent.

On top of the drier conditions, the next 7 days should largely be the same from day to day with partly cloudy skies and relatively light winds. Temperatures will be the main change each day, gradually increasing to above normal (mid 70s) by the middle of next week.
