Wednesday brings warm and dry weather

Northwestern Minnesota sees higher winds and temperatures

Wednesday brings a few more clouds across the state, but temperatures still make it above average for most of Minnesota. 

Wednesday’s forecast

Wednesday is starting off mostly cloudy for all but the Arrowhead, but that kept temperatures mild overnight, leaving morning temperatures predominantly in the 40s and 50s.  Clouds will break up some through the day, bringing partly sunny skies into the afternoon.  That will allow most of the state to warm into 70s, with the very northern edge of Minnesota likely to see a couple 80s again.

The southwestern edge of the state is the mostly likely spot to see lingering clouds, so highs may only make it into the 60s there.

Most of the state sees lighter winds Wednesday, except northwestern Minnesota, where it will be windy again this afternoon, with gusts over 30 mph.  Skies remain dry again most of Thursday until showers and storms start to move in late in the day.  That forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
