The sun is back for Tuesday along with more seasonable temperatures. Wednesday will be warmer, windy and more humid south ahead of a cold front which will touch off strong storms late in the day and overnight.

Sunshine Tuesday with storms possible late Wednesday

The sun is back for Tuesday and much of Wednesday, though it will be filtered some by high clouds Tuesday afternoon and at times Wednesday.

High temperatures Tuesday will be in the upper 70s and low 80s south with some mid 80s in northwest Minnesota. Wednesday will be warmer with some spots near 90 in southern Minnesota ahead of a cool front.

It will also become quite windy Wednesday ahead of that front. 15-25 mph winds with gusts over 35 mph are possible from the southwest. Dew points will also increase into the muggy 60s to near 70 degrees at times.

Storms will develop ahead of that cool front late Wednesday in northern Minnesota and spread into eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin through the evening and overnight Wednesday night.

There’s a slight risk of severe weather (level 2 out of 5) for Wednesday evening and overnight with those storms. The primary threats will be damaging winds and large hail.

It will be cooler behind the front briefly on Thursday with highs mainly in the 70s and dew points dropping back into the comfortable 50s.

Friday will see temperatures warm back into the 80s and then the heat really takes off for the weekend into early next week. An upper level ridge, or heat dome will develop over the central U.S. creating the potential for several days of heat.

Saturday will be the first of potentially several days of 90 degree-plus temperatures into early next week.
