Our current temps would be warm for July, but they are especially warm for early June.

Much of Minnesota and western Wisconsin will have Saturday highs in the upper 80s to around 90. There will be some 70s near Lake Superior, with a few spots up there topping out in the upper 60s.

Sunday highs reach the lower 90s in far northwestern Minnesota plus much of the southern half of Minnesota:

There will be a lot of 80s elsewhere, with 70s near Lake Superior.

Twin Cities metro area highs are projected to reach the upper 80s on Monday, then around 80 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday followed by lower 80s Tuesday and mid 80s on Friday.

An isolated shower is possible Saturday morning, then better rain chances develop with the heating of the day.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over portions of Minnesota and western Wisconsin as we go through Saturday afternoon, and some of those showers and thunderstorms could linger into Saturday evening.

Some spots in Minnesota and western Wisconsin will see little or no rain today, while other spots could see downpours at times. Remember that it does not have to be raining at your location for lightning to strike nearby.
