High temperatures Tuesday afternoon should range from the upper 70s in northeastern Minnesota to the mid-80s in the Twin Cities and the south. A cold front sweeping in from the west will bring falling temperatures to northwestern Minnesota on Tuesday and will bring all of us much drier air.

The Twin Cities should have a high temperature around 85. Dew points will fall from the mid- and upper 60s that have plagued us recently to the very comfy low 50s during the afternoon.

Wednesday will be the best day of the work week with sunshine, pleasant temperatures and low humidities. Highs will be mainly 50s in the north and 60s in central and southern sections.

Chilly rain will come our way on Thursday.

Temperatures will then warm gradually from Friday through the Memorial Day weekend. Spotty showers are possible each day.
