Humidity will return
The mugginess factor will become notable as dew points climb on Thursday and especially on Friday.
Thunderstorms likely later in the week
Increasing instability will spread more thunderstorms out of the Dakotas and into Minnesota on Thursday and Friday.
Severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday in western Minnesota. A marginal risk of severe weather has been posted for much of the western edge of the state while the next higher level of risk, a slight risk, has been posted for the northwestern corner.
The greatest chance of severe storms is likely to develop on Friday as a cold front crosses the state and plows into the muggy air.
A mixed weekend outlook
Some showers and storms might hang around on Saturday and maybe into early Sunday before drier air arrives.
Cooler and dry early next week
Look for a lot of high temperatures in the 70s along with dry dew points by early next week.
