The southern half of Minnesota will see more sun than the northern half Thursday. Clouds and a few showers will fill in for parts of northeast Minnesota where highs will only be in the 60s. Much warmer and more humid air moves in over the weekend.

More sunshine south Thursday; few showers north

Thursday will be brighter and warmer in the southern half of Minnesota but we’ll likely see our coolest high temperatures of the month. High temperatures will only be in the mid to upper 70s south, but northern Minnesota will see highs just in the 60s.  77 is the number for us to beat (as in stay under) for it to be the coolest high temperature for July. 

Clouds will fill back in for northeast Minnesota as there will be some lingering instability (cool air aloft).

In fact, a few showers are again possible later in the afternoon in northeast Minnesota while the rest of us remain dry.

Thursday night into early Friday will bring another cool morning and comfortable day.

Much warmer air will be moving in over the course of the weekend. We’ll see highs in the upper 80s in the south Saturday and Sunday.

Brace yourself for humid air as well. Especially by Sunday we’ll notice those muggier dew points.
