It’s a June weather pattern across southern Minnesota this week.
Highs in the 70s for most of this week are more typical of June in the southern half of Minnesota. Weak fronts and weather systems are producing periodic scattered showers and some thunderstorms this week. That’s a classic June weather pattern.
As of this post, scattered showers and thunderstorms are moving eastward through southern Minnesota and northern Iowa.
