Temperatures continue to climb Wednesday, with very isolated chances for showers and storms.
Wednesday forecast
With the warming trend Minnesota is under, both high and low temperatures will be on the rise. This is already noticeable in our Wednesday morning lows, which are slightly milder than the past few mornings, with temperatures mostly in the 40s and 50s north and 50s and 60s south.
Highs also turn even warmer, and most of the state will be back in the 80s by the afternoon.
Aiding in the warm weather are mostly sunny skies, and winds that start light, but become a breezier southwesterly flow by the afternoon.
A minor disturbance is bringing a few showers and isolated storms across central Minnesota Wednesday morning, and additional spotty activity could develop in northern and central Minnesota during the afternoon.
This wet weather stays limited in part because the air is so dry, so much of the moisture is evaporating before even making it to the ground.
Predominantly dry weather continues through the end of the week, while temperatures climb toward record heat.
That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
