It looks like our second summer has arrived, following a brief return to fall-like temperatures. Warmer south-southwesterly winds 5-15 mph continue to drive warmer air from the south. Temperatures for the work week will be well into the 80s. 

Expect lows to dip into the upper 50s for the metro area, while northern Minnesota will stay in the upper 40s to low 50s. Winds will be calm in northern regions, with southwesterly winds at 5-10 mph in central and southern parts of the state.

Monday’s high temperatures climb into the lower to mid-80s with hazy, sunny skies.

Typically in the summer with an increase in temperature we see an increase in humidity. The dewpoints will stay comfortable in the 50s, possibly some lower 60 degree dew points towards the middle of the week. 

Mother Nature has been doing a fantastic job all summer providing us with timely showers. Above normal temperatures and little to no precipitation in the forecast means that we will need to water our landscape and vegetation. The month of September averages about 3 inches of rainfall. To date we have clocked a whopping 0.01 inches of rain for Minneapolis-St. Paul. 

Our 6-10 day and 8-14 day temperature outlook continues to show an above average trend. 

Enjoy a long stretch of sunshine and 80s!
