An unsettled atmosphere will lead to a few pop-up, instability showers in the northern half of Minnesota mainly Wednesday afternoon. Highs will continue below normal through Friday before becoming hotter this weekend.

Lingering instability Wednesday; otherwise pleasant

Wednesday should see high temperatures near 80 in the south with morning sunshine. Cumulus clouds will pop through for central and northern Minnesota as an upper level low cools temperatures aloft, creating instability with the sunshine heating the ground, combined with lingering moisture. Look for pop-up, instability showers.

Below normal temps continue through Friday

High temperatures Thursday will be in the 70s only for most of the state with just upper 60s even in northeast Minnesota. We should see brighter skies too.

Low temperatures Thursday night into early Friday will be downright cool, mainly in the 50s with some 40s in northeast Minnesota.

If you’re a fan of these temperatures in the 70s, make sure to enjoy it. It won’t last. Temperatures will soar back into the upper 80s this weekend, possibly near 90 and next week is looking pretty hot overall.
