And I dare say this is a classic Minnesota spring so far. We’ve had a nice gradual warm-up this spring. we’ve had just one 80-degree day thus far in the Twin Cities when we hit 85 degrees on April 13. 

I’m sure you can remember many years like just a year ago when we’ve lurched from snow in the first week of April to temperatures as warm as 88 degrees by April 12! 

So far this May is running about 3 degrees warmer than normal in the Twin Cities and most of Minnesota. This spring has wrapped its arms around us in a nice slow gradual fashion. It’s been a spring to remember. 

Our weather pattern brings more pleasant temperatures this week into the upcoming weekend. Highs the next few days will favor 60s north and the lower 70s south across Minnesota. 

Sunday will be the warmest day of the next several. Highs will push close to 80 degrees in southern Minnesota including the Twin Cities. 

Any rainfall coverage looks slight and brief through the upcoming weekend. We may see a stray shower or thunderstorms, but significant rainfall coverage looks unlikely. 

Enjoy this beautiful run of spring weather.
