We have more sunshine Thursday and mainly dry weather statewide. Temperatures will be mostly in the 70s. The chance of rain increases over the next couple of days with heat building next week.

Sunshine Thursday, then rain chances rise

Thursday will again be beautiful with sunshine and temperatures warming into the 70s pretty much statewide.

Showers, some thunder brush southwest Minnesota Thursday evening into the overnight. Most of that activity remains southwest of the Minnesota River. 

An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible Friday across central and southern Minnesota with a weak disturbance moving across Minnesota.

Saturday brings the better chance of rain-thunder over the next several days with showers looking likely in the morning and then a few pop-up storms in the late afternoon-evening.

The upper-level pattern shifts into heat mode next week. A large upper-level ridge or heat dome develops over the central United States and it may be sticking around a while, so prepare for a very warm stretch.

High temperatures by Tuesday should manage the low 90s for many spots in southern Minnesota and it be just the first of two or three days that warm next week along with an increase in humidity.

Thunderstorm chances look isolated early next week.
