Tuesday will be another beautiful and breezy day. Temperatures trend upward Wednesday into Friday and we’ll temporarily see slightly more muggy air late Thursday into early Friday.
Bright and breezy
Tuesday will be another very pleasant day and a couple of degrees cooler. Highs will be mainly in the 70s statewide. We’ll also have another fairly breezy day, though a bit lighter than Monday.
Late week warming trend
We’ll see temperatures warm up over the coming days, in the mid-80s Wednesday and into the upper 80s, perhaps near 90 in portions of southern Minnesota Thursday and Friday.
While dew points will still be comfortable Tuesday and Wednesday, they’ll creep up to sticky levels temporarily Thursday afternoon into Friday.

Quiet Atlantic so far
It’s been a quiet start to the Atlantic hurricane season so far. In fact, this looks to go down as the first August in 25 years without a named storm.
Activity is picking up, however. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas in the tropical Atlantic currently that have a 50 percent and 20 percent chance respectively of developing into tropical cyclones within the next 48 hours.
One system has an 80 percent chance within the next 120 hours.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is still forecasting better odds of an above-normal season than a below-normal season. NOAA currently sees a 60 percent chance of an above-normal hurricane season.
