Another summer-like day is expected on Monday, with high temperatures in the low 80s. Early in the week, temperatures will stay above average until Wednesday, when a cold front will bring 50s back into the forecast.

Our warm streak continues across the Upper Midwest, with high temperatures running 15-20 degrees above average. A large ridge of high pressure in the east will keep showers and cloud cover at bay. Satellite imagery shows very few clouds over the eastern half of the country. 

Summer-like temperatures will persist into Monday, with highs reaching the low to mid-80s, while northern areas will see upper 60s to low 70s. 

Temperatures on Sunday came very close to breaking records but fell just short. We still have a chance to break the record for the warmest low temperature. 

                   Tuesday:     60 degrees  (1914)     

Low temperatures on Monday morning are expected to be in the low 60s, competing with the old record.         

A cold front will move through on Tuesday, bringing a few light showers to some lucky areas in northern Minnesota. A significant temperature swing is expected for Wednesday, with highs in the mid-50s. 

However, our return to seasonal temperatures will be brief, as the forecast indicates another warming trend heading into the end of the work week.
