High temperatures across Minnesota Wednesday will range from the low 80s in the southwest to 70s east, 60s north and just 50s along the North Shore. There will be some showers in north-central Minnesota.

Wednesday will be cooler with temperatures dropping by more than 10 degrees for most places from Tuesday’s highs. Southwestern Minnesota will still be warm in the low 80s but the North Shore will see highs only in the 50s with blustery northeast winds off Lake Superior.

Wednesday night will be cool, especially in northern Minnesota where temps will dip into the 30s.

We’ll have hazy skies from wildfire smoke still and moderate air quality at times in southern Minnesota. The smoke looks to clear the skies by late Thursday into the weekend.

Look for scattered lingering showers in north-central Minnesota.

An upper-level ridge continues to dominate our weather overall in Minnesota and central North America through the upcoming holiday weekend. Temperatures will be back in the 70s for most but the North Shore Thursday and continue to trend upward.

The only place that may see some showers or thunder break through the ridge will be into far western or northwestern Minnesota late in the weekend.
