The major forecast models agree on what looks like a significant warmup for Minnesota next week. And as if medium-range forecasts don’t present enough uncertainty, this warmup appears to peak around April 1. How lovely.
Mild upper-air pattern
Next week’s upper-air maps still look mild. The jet stream lifts north into Canada. A mild flow of Pacific air dominates next week and extends through the first weekend of April.
If this pattern verifies, we can expect a string of days well into the 50s and 60s next week. A few models even hint at temperatures in the 70s for parts of Minnesota next week.

The American models agree with 60s next week, and even a few 70s.
Stay tuned.
