A series of pop-up thunderstorms across the Twin Cities on Tuesday night caught a lot of people by surprise, led to some much-needed rain.... and provided some incredibly dramatic shelf clouds as storms rumbled across the sky.

The rolling clouds were shared all over social media Tuesday night. Here are a few of our favorites.

After some early fog, Wednesday will be a spectacular day according to WCCO Chief Meteorologist Paul Douglas. Expect highs in the lower 80s with low humidity. There's another chance of storms again on Thursday with increasing heat heading into the weekend.
