Spring ripens: 60s this week blossom into 70s the following
Our spring warmup is finally here
Finally, spring.
There’s no denying the beauty of our current weather pattern across Minnesota. Temperatures kissed the 70-degree mark at several locations in Minnesota Wednesday, including some locations in the Twin Cities.
Thursday brings yet another spectacular weather day to Minnesota. Expect a mix of sunshine and a few puffy cumulus clouds. Highs will push 70 degrees once again in many locations.
Shower chance Friday
Friday brings a weak weather system to southern Minnesota. It will produce a few scattered showers. NOAA’s North American Mesoscale Forecast System (NAM) paints the shower chances between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday.

Warmer next week
Next week looks glorious, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Highs will push well into the 70s across most of Minnesota.
A few showers and thunderstorms may visit Minnesota next Wednesday and Thursday.
The upper air pattern looks even warmer by around Sunday, May 23.
Some forecast models are cranking out highs in the 80s for much of the last week in May.
Stay tuned.
