It’s interesting to note that this week’s heat is not in record territory for most of Minnesota. Record highs for the Twin Cities range between 101 and 105 degrees this week.
Relief by Wednesday
A cold front will blow through Minnesota late Tuesday. The air mass behind the front looks about 10 to 15 degrees cooler, and a lot less humid.
Check out the change in dew points between the two air masses. Dew points in the 70s will be swept away and replaced by a transfusion of dew points in the more comfortable 50s and lower 60s this week!
High temperatures will hover in the upper 80s to around 90 in southern Minnesota from Wednesday through Friday. Highs up north will hover around 80 degrees in many locations.
Cooler by your favorite Great Lake.
Stay tuned.
