It’ll be a warm one Monday with temperatures well into the 70s for the afternoon. Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible overnight. The week will be unsettled with more rain chances. 

Warm and windy Monday with rain and thunder possible overnight

Look for a warm Monday as highs reach well into the 70s for most of the state. It will be cooler near Lake Superior.

Winds will increase, especially for western Minnesota where gusts will be up to 40 to 45 mph from the southeast. A wind advisory takes effect late Monday morning into the late evening for western Minnesota.

Winds are increasing ahead of an upper low to our west that will help to develop showers and thunderstorms from South Dakota down into Texas. What’s left of that activity will sweep across Minnesota mainly overnight Monday into early Tuesday.

It’s just the first chance of rain this week as disturbances will rotate around the main upper low as it slowly moves across the north-central U.S. Think of it as a tire with spokes of energy rotating around it:

More showers are possible Wednesday into early Thursday across southern Minnesota.

Another chance of showers is possible statewide Friday. 

Temperatures will be cooler later in the week before warming back up over the weekend in time for the fishing opener and Mother’s Day.
