High pressure will make for a beautiful Friday. Showers and thunder return Saturday, followed by hot and humid conditions with more storms into next week.

A nice Friday; unstable weather, muggy air to return

Thanks to high pressure, it will be a beautiful Friday with plenty of sunshine and slightly above-normal temperatures along with light winds. Look for highs to range from the low 80s south to 70s north. 

As more humid air pushes back into the region, it will touch off scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday into Saturday night. That will also keep temperatures mostly in the 70s Saturday.

Get ready for steamy air to move in. Dew points will be very muggy Sunday into Tuesday.

It will be downright hot for many heading into Sunday and early next week. Highs will be near 90 degrees across much of southern Minnesota.

Minnesota will be on the edge of the hot, humid weather for much of next week. That means there will be several storm chances with some possibly strong to severe. 

The best chances for severe storms in the next few days will be Monday in western and northern Minnesota. Tuesday could bring further strong to severe weather. 

With the active pattern, rainfall will continue to add up around the region. Total rainfall over the next seven days could be greater than 6 inches for some areas in Minnesota.
