Today won’t be as warm as Saturday, but high temps will be well above normal.

The average Twin Cities high temperature is 56 degrees on April 14. Metro area highs are expected to reach the lower 70s Sunday afternoon. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a reading of 75 degrees somewhere in the metro area later this afternoon.

Sunday highs will be in the 70s across roughly the southern half of Minnesota plus west-central Wisconsin:

Much of northern Minnesota will have highs in the 60s, with lower 70s in portions of the Red River Valley and a few 50s in Cook County of northeastern Minnesota.

Winds gusts could top 20 mph in some areas Sunday afternoon:

A red flag warning is posted from noon to 8 p.m. Sunday for portions of northwestern Minnesota and northeastern North Dakota:

Here are details of the red flag warning:

Most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin will have a dry Sunday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale Forecast System model shows the potential precipitation pattern from 10 a.m. Sunday to 11 p.m. Sunday:

You can hear updated weather information for Minnesota and western Wisconsin on the MPR News 

Monday morning lows will dip into the 30s in roughly the northern third of Minnesota plus northwestern Wisconsin:

Milder lows are expected Tuesday morning, as clouds and rain return.

A new Updraft will be posted around 10:40 a.m. today. It’ll include a look at the week ahead.

You can hear my live weather updates on MPR News at 7:35 a.m., 9:35 a.m. and 4:39 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday.
