Spring has finally sprung. The warmest air mass in five months is here. The last time the Twin Cities hit 60 was Nov. 10. Our last 70 was Nov. 2.
This week brings widespread 70s to Minnesota, and we have a shot at 80 degrees by Wednesday in the south.
Temperatures are already tickling the 70-degree mark as I post this Monday afternoon. Much of southeastern Minnesota — including Rochester, Albert Lea, and Red Wing — has already reached 70 degrees Monday.
Highs Tuesday bring widespread 70s to our region.
