Yet another unseasonably warm air mass blows into Minnesota in the next 48 hours. This will be the warmest air mass in 6 months for most of Minnesota. The last time the Twin Cities hit 80 degrees was October 6, 2020.
June-like jet stream
Check out the upper wind pattern by Sunday. The jet stream lifts way north into Canada near Hudson Bay. The westerly wind flow aloft will allow milder spring air to drift north across Minnesota. This pattern is more typical of June than early April.
