Another hot day for southern Minnesota

Storms move in late Tuesday

Hot weather has portions of Minnesota under a heat advisory again Tuesday, and after a mostly dry day, storms start moving into the state by evening.

Tuesday’s forecast

A lingering front in southern Minnesota is causing a big temperature contrast across Minnesota again Tuesday. Morning temperatures range from 50s north to 60s and 70s south.  Afternoon temperatures will be near 80 north and mid-80s to low 90s south, but dew points and humidity will be much higher in southern Minnesota again, leading to a high heat index.

Much of the state sees mostly sunny skies Tuesday, with just a few more clouds north. By Tuesday evening, a disturbance starts moving across the northern edge of the state that brings showers and storms through northern and central Minnesota overnight, along with an isolated risk for severe weather.
