Spectacular spring Monday; summery Memorial Day weekend ahead?
A shot at 80 degrees Memorial Day weekend.
For many Minnesotans, it just doesn't get any better than this.
Monday graced us with bright blue skies, light winds, and pleasantly cool temperatures, and dry humidity to Minnesota.
Many of you that I talk with love these nice pleasantly cool spring days. Bright sunshine? Temperatures in the 60s? Few bugs?
Priceless.

Tuesday brings another nice spring day to Minnesota. Expect a sunny start with some filtered afternoon sun through a veil of high clouds. Highs reach the 60s once again.
Wednesday brings just plain rain. Many of us in southern Minnesota will pick up .50” to as much as 1” southward toward the I-90 corridor.
Summery Memorial Day weekend?
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer for Minnesota. The early read of the weather maps suggests temperature and dew points will feel like early summer across southern Minnesota.
We start with spectacular days Thursday through Saturday. Highs will reach the 70s Friday and Saturday under mostly sunny skies.
Sunday and Memorial Day favor a warmer and slightly humid weather pattern with a few scattered thunderstorms.
Highs could reach the 80s across southern Minnesota next weekend with dew points in the slightly sticky 60s.
Our weather is getting better overall in the coming week Minnesota.
