It’s a typical June weekend in Minnesota. 

Friday was almost perfectly normal for June 7 in the Twin Cities. Temperatures with a high of 78 and low of 58 degrees are almost on the 30-year climate norms of 77 and 58 degrees for June 7 in the Twin Cities. 

A few showers early Saturday give way to mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies this weekend. Highs this weekend will range from the 70s central and south to the 60s north. 

Sunday brings slightly cooler air to northern Minnesota. 

Next week looks pleasant for temperatures with highs gradually warming from the 70s into the 80s by Wednesday.

The forecast models favor possible heat and humidity in about a week. It looks like we could get close to 90 degrees by the weekend of June 15-16. 

Check out the likely plume of tropical air pushing north into Minnesota starting the weekend of June 15-16. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Forecast System model dew point output below runs through the week of June 17.

A persistent shot of dew points in the tropical 70s is likely ahead.

A little rain Saturday morning gives way to a pretty nice weekend. Our first 90-degree temperatures may arrive in about a week. 

B+ weekend. Steamy air late next week?
